00:00This is the San Carlos Negros Occidental Mayor Renato Gustilo
00:03for the National Bureau of Investigation
00:05of the Humanity Ghost Flood Control Projects
00:08at the Kandilang Lungsod.
00:10Kauwag na niya, mahasap natin si Joe Alingasa
00:12ng San Carlos City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office.
00:16Maganda-umaga sa iyo.
00:18Hi, sir. Good morning, pa.
00:19Paano po nakawa ni Mayor Gustilo
00:20ang informasyon na mga ghost projects daw sa inyong Lungsod?
00:24Okay, sir, last May 3 and June po,
00:27nakatanggap na po si Mayor ng letter coming from the procurement service
00:30of no less than the DPWH Central Office
00:34trying to and requesting him to confirm
00:36the three flood control projects
00:39na naghahalaga po ng around 306 million pesos.
00:43And unfortunately, based on the verification of the documents
00:46nung attach nun, nakita na forged po
00:49yung signature ni Mayor Renato Y. Gustilo
00:52and apart from that, yung sa engineer naman po
00:56ng City of San Carlos.
00:57So, in short, doon sa contract of service,
01:01pati doon sa notice of award, notice to proceed,
01:03yung nakapangalan po na kay Mayor Renato Y. Gustilo
01:06ay confirmed na hindi po perma ng aming alkaldi po.
01:10Opo.
01:11Pakipaliwanag lang po, ghost project.
01:13Wala hong nakitang konstruksyon o merong hindi natapos.
01:17Paano po?
01:18Okay. Inasmuch as the DPWH NIR is concerned
01:23at saka yung DPWH San Carlos,
01:24meron po talagang existing na mga projects
01:26dyan sa area na nabanggit po sa sulat.
01:29So, we have three areas po, or locations.
01:32Yung Sanduon River, Palampas River, and Higalaman River.
01:35Existing na po yan, matagal na.
01:36At saka tapos na po, at hindi po yung amount na yan
01:39na parang bloated.
01:40So, ang gusto lang po mangyari nito,
01:42according to DPWH,
01:44is they want to confirm only
01:45because it's part of yung kanilang re-accreditation
01:48ng mga contractors
01:49na dapat magkaroon sila ng mga projects
01:52with DPWH.
01:54Kaya lang,
01:54kaya lang,
01:56ang problema,
01:56out of 149 cities,
01:58napili po ang San Carlos
01:59na parang i-mention doon sa sulat
02:02na wala naman yung projects na yun.
02:04So, parang gustong mag-ride on
02:05ng mga contractors na yun
02:08dito sa mga existing projects
02:09na dito sa San Carlos City,
02:10which pinabulaan na naman po yan
02:12ng ating district engineer
02:14na sa kanila yun.
02:14So, according to our district engineer dito,
02:18Alfonso's po,
02:20sabi niya na
02:21hindi po project yan
02:23ng contractors na galing ng Northern Luzon
02:25at hindi po yun yung amount
02:26na ginamit nila
02:27to complete those projects
02:29na existing po
02:30na flood control projects
02:31ng San Carlos City.
02:32Sino po contractor
02:33nito mga proyektong ito?
02:35Based on the face of the document po
02:36at saka
02:37na-verify na po,
02:39na-report na natin
02:40with DPWH po
02:41and doon mismo sa NBI,
02:43yan po ay yung APO construction,
02:45EKC construction,
02:47at Jaben construction
02:48na puro lahat galing ng Baguio,
02:51Mountain Province,
02:52at Binguet,
02:53which the mayor himself
02:55is not so familiar with.
02:56Hindi ho ba flood-prone area
02:58yung lugar?
02:58Those are major waterways
03:02or rivers po
03:03ng San Carlos City
03:04kaya hindi lang po yan
03:05siya umaapaw
03:06unlike the population area
03:08namin na binabahan ngayon
03:09because of torrential rains
03:11kasi hindi po kaya
03:11ng ating old drainage system.
03:14So, yung ginagawa
03:15ng San Carlos City
03:16for the population area
03:18it's through the project
03:19of the local government unit
03:20at hindi po
03:21ng DPWH
03:22at yung mga projects
03:23na nabanggit dyan
03:24hindi po siya umaapaw
03:27yung floodwaters
03:28or river and flood.
03:30So, yan po yung
03:30nakapagtatakat.
03:31Ironic talaga
03:32kasi doon po
03:33sabi nila nakafocus lahat
03:35yung project na 306 million.
03:37Si Mayor,
03:38wala alam dito
03:38at nakausap na ba niya
03:40yung mga contractor po?
03:42Yung tatlong contractors nga
03:44wala po siyang contact dyan
03:45kasi they're all
03:46from Northern Luzon
03:47and we are here
03:48in the NIR
03:49or formerly
03:50part kami ng Western Visayas.
03:52Apo.
03:52So, he's not privy
03:54as to those
03:55construction companies
03:56whether they're bogus
03:57or they're existing or not.
03:59Yung point lang niya is
04:00bakit po
04:01nagfalsify sila
04:02ng public document
04:03at nakapangalan
04:04pakat sa kanya
04:04at yung pirma po
04:05ibang-iba talaga
04:07sa pirma
04:07ng aming alkaldi po.
04:09Anong reaksyon na NBI
