In a statement on Friday, November 21, the DFA said it can only proceed with cancellation “upon receipt of a court order issued by a competent Philippine court instructing the DFA to cancel a Philippine passport,” in accordance with Sections 4 and 10 of RA 11983, or the New Philippine Passport Act.

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. earlier confirmed that the Sandiganbayan has issued arrest warrants against Co and 17 others in connection with an anomalous flood control project in Oriental Mindoro.

In a video posted on his Facebook page, Marcos ordered authorities to immediately enforce the warrants.
