Complaint filed vs Legarda over illegal use of govt funds for Antique

Signed by Junnex Doronio director of FLAGG ?We find it very surprising that despite the fact that her intention to run in Antique was general knowledge, she parades and harps in the province that she funded innumerable projects in Antique, Legarda in her defense stated that "she allocated funds to provide financial assistance to Antique residents, and spearheaded several projects to preserve and promote the environment, tourism, and rich culture of the province."
