In a statement sent by Usec Joni Segismundo, Bautista said: ”Please allow me to categorically say that I never accepted any money or favor since assuming the post of Transportation Secretary.”
“When I took the helm of Department of Transportation, I vowed to serve the country and the Filipino people with integrity which to me is more precious than any material wealth,” Bautista stressed.
Bautista also said that he iintends to strongly defend the truth and his name and that he plans to file the appropriate formal complaint against whoever has been maligning him.
“While these allegations may have distracted us from our work, I vehemently deny involvement in any corruption or inappropriate activities,” said Bautista.
