Gela Atayde came to the defense of her brother, Quezon City 1st District Rep. Arjo Atayde, after netizens questioned her recent social media post.

Her statement came just days before Sarah and Curlee Discaya released a list linking several individuals, including Atayde, to alleged irregularities in flood control projects.
