00:00I have gone through, actually, the political blogger that you have given me, Your Honor.
00:07And what I can say, we don't have this kind of information at all in the department.
00:13To me, it's a little preposterous, actually, to have something like this,
00:18800 billion for six members of Congress.
00:23Mr. Chair, can you restate it, Mr. Secretary, what was the allegation again?
00:28Our six congressmen has cornered 800 billion in projects.
00:34For flood control projects, Your Honor.
00:38Mr. Chairman, Mr. Chairman, Mr. Chairman,
00:44can we ask the Secretary to make a categorical denial of the statement made by that blogger in social media in this committee?
00:56Mr. Chair.
00:56What I'm saying here is actually now that it is now open for me to respond, Your Honor.
01:02What I'm saying is that we don't have any specific record of this kind of allocation for the six congressmen that has been put into the…

01:20Did not say.
01:21Yeah.
01:21I think it's a page, Mr. Secretary, being circulated today.
01:27So, Mr. Chairman, I would just like to thank the good Secretary for at least clarifying that point.
01:38Kasi, alam mo, unfair talaga eh.
01:41I mean, we need to get, you know, our facts, we need to get the truth, especially when we're trying to investigate issues and problems that affect the country.
01:52Now, if there are malicious people who want to take advantage of this by throwing out fake news, fake posts, meant to malign and destroy the good name,
02:03hindi po pwede yun. Walang lugar po sa atin yun at higit sa lahat, hindi po tama yun.
