00:00Meanwhile, Senator Panfilo Laxon drops a bombshell in the Senate plenary.
00:05He exposed what he called a pattern of corruption in multi-million peso flood control projects nationwide.
00:11From alleged ghost projects to fund diversions, Laxon laid bare how portions of project budgets are carved and deweyed up among officials and contractors.
00:23Daniel Manalastas reports.
00:24Last week, the President took aim. Today, I am pulling the trigger.
00:34Senator Panfilo Laxon, known for his exposés, has done it again as he revealed alleged system on alleged anomalous flood control projects.
00:43He started his privileged speech by revealing how the conspirators involved operate.
00:498 to 10 percent para sa mga opisyal ng DPWH.
00:54Swerte na daw kung pumayag ang district engineer na 6 percent lamang ang party niya.
01:005 to 6 percent para sa mga miyembro ng Beach and Awards Committee or BAC.
01:050.5 to 1 percent para sa COA.
01:09Passing through or parking fee na aabot sa katumbas na 5 to 6 percent ng pondo.
01:1620 to 25 percent ang karaniwang napupunta sa funder o project proponent na politiko.
01:25Laxon said these are all based on several data and information but he clarified that these are not the representation of all system in the flood control projects all throughout the country.
01:37Laxon even revealed some questionable projects in some provinces in the country.
01:42We discovered a congressional representative showcasing his midterm accomplishment report covering the period from June 30, 2022 to December 31, 2023.
01:56He openly lists projects, hold your breath, funded by his office.
02:04Isa pa sa pinagmamalaki na mapag-angking congressman ay ang flood control structure sa Butas River.
02:11Ano kaya ang taglay na agimat ni congressman kung saan may multi-million projects dumadapo ang agila pero lubog pa rin sa baha ang nadadapuan ng agila.
02:25But based on his investigation, the most notorious are those in...
02:30Ang lalawigan ng bulakan na aming maituturing na pinaka-notorious pagdating sa anomalya ng flood control projects.
02:39He also discovered that some alleged ghost projects are seemingly being concealed through a cover-up.
02:45Gusto po ba ninyo makita ang itsura ng isang 77.199 million pesos worth na riverbank protection structure?
02:56Tingnan po natin.
02:59Nasaan na nga ba?
03:02Ewan ko Mr. President dahil wala tayo makita.
03:05Hello Darcy!
03:06Ang ana and ana nasaan ng flood control?
03:11And some patterns.
03:13Makikita natin ang isang pattern ng mga proyektong guni-guni ng Darcy and Ana at Wawaw Builders
03:20sa barangay Carillo, Abulalas, Iba, at San Nicolás, First Engineering District ng Bulakan.
03:27Pare-parehong contract price, 77.199 million pesos.
03:32Pare-parehong riverbank protection structure, pare-parehong guni-guni.
03:37It is expected next week that the interpellations will continue.
