[Title] => NFAs Yap welcomes probe
[Summary] => Incoming Agriculture Secretary Arthur Yap welcomed yesterday an investigation into accusations that he "juggled and realigned" P432 million in government funds when he was National Food Authority (NFA) administrator.
In a statement, Yap described as "baseless and malicious" the charges filed against him by Department of Agriculture (DA) resident Ombudsman Marlene Garcia Esperat.
"I cannot understand why she has to file charges barely two weeks after the announcement of my appointment as secretary of the Department of Agriculture," he said.
