Excerpt

Gov. Florencio Miraflores denied the accusations stated in a complaint filed against him and 16 other local officials in Aklan over Boracay’s environmental problems. The governor was accused of negligence in ensuring the island resort’s sustainability. Miraflores said he will prove his innocence before the Office of the Ombudsman, where Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) undersecretary Epimaco Densing III lodged the administrative and graft charges on June 27. The DILG also sought the preventive suspension of all the respondents pending investigation, citing Section 24 of Republic Act 6770, or the Ombudsman Act of 1989.
