(CNN Philippines) Metro Manila — Senator Manny Pacquiao on Saturday called out more government agencies allegedly engaged in anomalous transactions, this time putting the spotlight on the Department of Social Welfare and Development over what he claimed are missing pandemic funds worth ₱10.4 billion.

In a media briefing, Pacquiao questioned the DSWD’s deal with e-wallet application Starpay in the distribution of the Social Amelioration Program (SAP). The boxer-turned-senator claimed that out of the 1.8 million SAP beneficiaries, only 500,000 were able to download the app.

“Ang tanong ko po, anong nangyari sa 1.3 million katao na hindi naka-download ng Starpay app? Ngunit sa record po, nakatanggap na po sila ng ayuda?” Pacquiao told reporters.

“Iyan po ang gusto kong itanong sa DSWD, ang nawawala pong salapi ay ₱10.4 billion po, nasaan po napunta ang limpak limpak na ayuda?” he added.

[Translation: My question is, what happened to the 1.3 million people who were not able to download the Starpay app? But on record, they were able to receive the aid? That’s what I want to ask the DSWD. The missing ₱10.4 billion…where did the money go?]

The DSWD said it is “willing to face any investigating body” to present necessary evidence and answer the allegations raised by Pacquiao.

Expiring medicines?
Pacquiao again flagged the Department of Health, this time for the supposed purchase of near-expiry medicines.
