House Deputy Minority leader and Bayan Muna Rep. Carlos Isagani Zarate defended COA, saying it should neither be stopped in pointing out"apparent irregularities" on the use of public funds nor threatened for merely doing its constitutional duties.

"Instead of immobilizing COA, Duterte must order the prosecution of the responsible officials of the agencies flagged by COA and accord them due process," Lagman said.
