00:00I-embestigahan ang Tri-Committee ng Kamara ang mga kwestyonable umanong flood control project.
00:05Pero tutol dito sa Presidential Sun at House Majority Leader Congressman Sandro Marcos
00:10dahil anya bakit mag-i-embestiga sa issue ang Kamara
00:13gayong pinag-ihinalaang sangkot ang ilang mambabatas.
00:17Mayunang balita si Maki Pulido.
00:23Nang manalasa ang magkakasunod na bagyo at habagat sa Visayas nitong Hulyo,
00:27binaha ang Iloilo City kung saan may namatay, gayon din sa Oton at iba pang bayan sa probinsya.
00:33Sinisi ni Iloilo City Mayor Raisa Treña sa anya mga palpak na imprastruktura,
00:38hindi tapos na mga proyekto at ghosts o nawawalang flood control projects.
00:42Aabot anya sa 4 na bilyong piso ang halaga ng mga ito sa loob lang ng dalawang taon.
00:48Yung iba hindi namin makita kasi sometimes sa projects naka-specify lang,
00:54naka-general lang, slope protection for Iloilo or walang specific address.
01:04So kaya hindi din kami makabigay ng specific kung ano ba, details kung paano na or kamusta na yung project.
01:12Dalawa sa mga kumpanyang nasa likod na mga proyekto ay kabilang sa labing limang kumpanyang pinangalanan ni Pangulong Bongbong Marcos
01:19na naka-corner ng 20% na mga pondo para sa kontrabaha sa buong bansa.
01:25Sila ang St. Timothy Construction Company at Alpha and Omega General Contractor and Development Corporation
01:31na na-awardan din ang tigma higit 7 bilyong piso.
01:34Sabi ni Mayor Trenas, sa Iloilo City, 600 million pesos na ang kabuoang project cost para sa apat na flood control project
01:42ng St. Timothy at Alpha and Omega.
01:45Pero walaan niya sa project description ng dalawang proyekto kung saan itatayo ang mga ito.
01:50Habang ang dalawa, walang ginagawang proyekto sa nakalistang lugar.
01:54Ang Iloilo City District Engineering Office ng DPWH, ang implementing agency ng mga naturang proyekto.
02:00Kinakalampag pa ng City Hall ng DPWH para makakuha ng ibang detalye.
02:05Kaya ghost talaga kasi inahanap natin, hindi natin mahanap.
02:11Nagtatago.
02:12Kaya, or maybe, with the help of DPWH, they can locate this and they can explain to us kung saan ba
02:22at makita na natin yung ghost. Baka buhay pala.
02:26Sa SEC General Information Sheet ng St. Timothy at ng Alpha and Omega,
02:31ang gusaling ito sa Pasig ang kanilang office address.
02:34Pero ang pangalan sa labas ng gusali ay St. Gerard Construction.
02:38Kahit ang St. Gerard, may questionable rin umanong proyekto sa Iloilo City, ayon kay Mayor Trenyas.
02:43The St. Gerard project, according sa barangay captain na andun, was to have an esplanade.
02:54Instead daw, mas mataas daw yung esplanade, mas bumaba. Parang not according to specs.
03:01Sinubukan uli namin kunin ang pahayag ng mga kumpanya, pero hindi pa rin sila nagbibigay ng pahayag.
03:06Ang mga kwestyonable umanong flood control project, iimbisigahan sa Kamara ng Tri-Comity,
03:12ang Public Accounts, Public Works at Good Government.
03:15Pero hindi pabor dito ang presidential son na si House Majority Leader Sandro Marcos.
03:19What do you say about criticisms that the House doesn't have the credibility to conduct its own investigation into flood control projects?
03:27I actually agree.
03:28Kabilang daw kasi sa pinaghihinalaan ang ilang mambabatas.
03:41I think we shouldn't get ahead of ourselves.
03:43Although the House, I believe, should assist in being able to identify where the anomalies are,
03:50I think it will be primarily the prerogative of the executive to be able to identify where these anomalies lie,
04:02given the fact that, again, the accused, so to speak, are within the legislature.
04:09Kaya sabi ni Quezon Representative at House Senior Deputy Speaker David Suarez,
04:14isang independent body ang mag-iimbestiga.
04:17We need a third party to look into it because, you know, mag-Congress kasi mag-iimbestiga,
04:22sasabihin na we're investigating ourselves, so dapat talaga may third party na mag-iimbestiga.
04:26Are you open to a third party investigation of the House and it's possible guys to conduct that?
04:31I don't see anything wrong with that.
04:33May pinatawag na House Committee on Public Accounts ang DPWH para magbigay linaw sa issue.
04:38Pero kuenestyo ni Navotas Representative Toby Tshanko ang hurisdiksyon nito.
04:42Kasama tayo sa tinitignan dito.
04:44So, Mr. Chair, gusto ko lang siguraduhin na talagang sinusunod natin ng stricto ang ating rules.
04:58Hindi po ba dapat ang committee na sumasakop dito ay yung good government and mas shoot siya doon?
05:07Yung pong Committee on Public Accounts principally is a committee assigned to the minority.
05:14And the minority would like to be very relevant on current issues.
05:18Kung hindi po nagpatawag ng meeting yung Committee on Good Government, kami po, inunahan na namin.
05:28Hindi pa na pag-uusapan ang tungkol sa flood control projects.
05:32Hinimay muna nila ang problema sa baha.
05:34Ito ang unang balita, Mackie Pulido para sa GMA Integrated News.
