The Senate Blue Ribbon Committee, led by Senator Rodante Marcoleta, continues its investigation into alleged widespread corruption in government flood control projects. Lawmakers are looking into the involvement of a possible syndicate after it was revealed that a small group of contractors were awarded the majority of these infrastructure projects.  The committee has issued subpoenas to several contractors who failed to attend the initial hearings.The probe was initiated after President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. called for a review of flood mitigation programs and questioned the "disproportionate concentration and awarding of projects to a selected group of contractors." The investigation also looks into so-called "ghost projects" where funding is allocated for projects that have already been completed.

00:00But Senator Tolpo was recalled, then may I move to site in content all this absent invitees

00:09so that warrants can be issued against them, Mr. President, Mr. Chairman.

00:19Second the motion.

00:21So the motion has been seconded that all persons invited and properly served with subpoena,

00:28but did not appear in today's hearing, are all cited in contempt in preparation for the eventual issuance of the warrants of arrest.

00:42Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

00:43Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

01:14Kaseryosuhan ang pagdinig na ito.

01:17Gusto nga namin i-accommodate kayo eh.

01:21Para sa ganon, matukoy natin talaga kung sino, kung sino talaga,

01:26ang mas malaki ang pananagutan sa napakalaking pinsala na nagawa ng pagbaha sa ating bansa,

01:36sapagkat hindi naman talaga nagawa ang mga projects ang ayon sa dapat magyari.

01:42Yung mga projects is dapat maproteksyonan ang communities, ngunit ang nangyari, kabaligtaran.

01:48Kanina po, binabanggit ko na marami na kaming kinausap ng mga ensya ng ating pamahalaan.

01:58Yung AMLOC po, nakahanda.

01:59Sa ngayon sa due process na hinihingi, na ngayon ay kanilang pinatutupad na,

02:09kayo po'y kanilang tinutugay-gayan na,

02:12mapiprice po ang inyong mga assets.

02:18Nag-call na rin po kami ng outlook sa immigration.

02:24Sa mga COVID-19, lahat po ng maayansang dapat nakausapin ay nahin dyan na.

02:27Ang PICAB, nakahanda po kayong iparibok lahat ang mga lisensa sa sandaling mapatunayan natin.

02:35Ang DPWs, may karapatang mag-blocklist yan sa ilalim ng kanilang pamamahala.

02:42Pwede po namin sigurong sabihin na makipagtulungan na kayo.

02:50Sa tingin namin, kayo naman ang hindi most guilty.

02:53So siguro pwede nating pag-usapan na...

02:57Sa ngayon, iniisip namin, baka para lang maingganyo kayo, makipag-cooperate.

03:06Sabihin na natin, wala mo ng criminal prosecution.

03:10Kasi po, plunder lahat ang lalabas nito.

03:14Bilyon-bilyong piso po ito.

03:16Kaya kung sakasakali po na kayo ay ma-prosegue, puro plunder po ito.

03:21Alam namin na mabigat ito.

03:24Inaasaan nyo ba na kayo lang ang magdudusa dito?

03:28Na kung magturo kayo halimbawa, ng mas may malalaking pananagutan dito,

03:37sino sa DPWH ang may direktang may kagagawa nito?

03:41Ituro po ninyo.

03:42Sino po sa mga funders, sino po mga politiko na may kagawa nito?

03:46Ituro po ninyo.

03:48Kayo ang magiging liability nyo lang, siguro civil damages.

03:53Kung papayag kayo, you indemnify the government.

03:56Ibalik nyo yung pera na nawala.

03:59Patulong kayo sa mga insurance companies na nag-post ng mga bonds

04:02para hindi kayo masyado masaktan.

04:04Kung matutukoy pa ninyo kung sino-sino yung mga yan,

04:07sa tulong ng Insurance Commission.

04:11Ibig ko sabihin,

04:13para hindi kayo ang magigitin lang ng leeg,

04:19magturo na kayo.

04:21Yan po yung gusto naming mangyari rito.

04:23Bagamat meron pong nagbigay na ng mga fillers,

04:26ngunit hindi namin alam kung paano namin kayo matutulungan

04:29hanggat hindi po kayo magsasabi talaga.

04:33Meron po talagang sumulat sa amin

04:35na nagsasabi na gusto na nilang magtapat,

04:38ngunit ang sabi nila,

04:41nanganganib po ang buhay namin at buhay ng aming pamilya.

04:44So kayo po ang mag-desisyon diyan.

04:49So let's proceed.

04:50Sino po ang gustong makapagtano?

04:53Before that, Mr. Chair,

04:54I would like to request the ComSec

04:57to administer the oath

04:58to all resource persons present here today.

05:01May I proceed, Mr. Chair?

05:03To all those who are here for the first time,

05:05at least stand and raise your right hand.

05:08Stand, please.

05:08Do you swear or affirm

05:18to tell the truth, the whole truth,

05:20and nothing but the truth in this proceeding?

05:23Thank you for the record.

05:24Everyone said yes, Your Honor.

05:32The minorities there may want to...

05:33With the permission of the Chairman

05:40and, of course, our President Pro Temp,

05:44I'm very much concerned about the legislation

05:50that we can come up here,

05:53Your Honor, Mr. Chairman.

05:54There has been a brewing controversy,

06:02not only with the DPWH,

06:05but also with the attached agency

06:09under the DTI,

06:12and particularly PICAB,

06:15which was created by Republic Act 4566 in 1965.

06:20As a matter of fact,

06:22in that Republic Act,

06:24the three board members of PICAB

06:26should be submitted to the Commission on Appointments,

06:29which they have never done.

06:32It was amended by PD 1746 in 1980,

06:37but I think it's about time we amend this,

06:40Your Honor, Mr. Chairman.

06:41Right now,

06:43the PICAB,

06:44the Philippine Contractors Accreditation Board,

06:51is under the CEP,

06:54the Construction Industry Authority of the Philippines,

07:00which is an attached agency to the DTI.

07:02After this series of questions

07:07that I would like to propose,

07:08Mr. Chairman,

07:10we would be able to come up with a law

07:13or an amendment to 4566

07:17so that we may streamline

07:19these issuances of licenses

07:23and the like,

07:26as far as contractors are concerned.

07:29So, with your permission,

07:30may I proceed now?

07:31Proceed.

07:32Mr. Chairman,

07:34the Alpha and Omega construction

07:38and the St. Timothy constructions

07:41were included in the top 15

07:47by President

07:48Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
