00:00The vice president's latest blooper remarks saying her boss could have ended corruption in the DPWH in one day
00:06if he wanted to bring to mind how her impeachment case should not have even been an issue had she testified truthfully
00:14before Congress instead of her stonewalling and evasive efforts.
00:18And as our Clazel Pardiglia reports, the palace fired back with a much better counterpunch.
00:24President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. is launching a sweeping investigation into anomalous flood control projects.
00:36Vice President Sara Duterte claimed the culprits could be identified
00:40and the probe can be finished in just one day if the president is serious.
00:46Malacanang rejected this idea, stressing the process will not be tukhang style.
00:52Isang araw lang matatapos ng investigasyon? That is absolutely preposterous.
01:01Ang Pangulong Marcos Jr., hindi po siya nagsasagawa ng investigasyon ala tukhang way.
01:10Niririspeto ng Pangulo ang due process, niririspeto ng Pangulo ang human rights.
01:16So kaya po dumadaan ang lahat sa proseso.
01:19Palace Press Officer Claire Castro added that Duterte should have advised her father,
01:26former President Rodrigo Duterte, to address corruption during his term.
01:31Kung isang araw lang po dapat ito naimbestigaan, sana po ay ito ay kanyang nasaggest noon sa kanyang ama
01:38dahil mismo ang dating Pangulong Duterte ay umamin na maraming ghost projects rampant noon.
01:4620, this is November 2020.
01:50Dahil sa pag-iimbestiga na ito, naisiwalat din at napatunayan ni Sekretary Bato de la Rosa
01:57na ang mga diskaya ay 2016 pa pala na mamayagpag para sa flood control projects.
02:04Yung nireklamo ni Mayor Magalong na rock netting ay 2018 pa pala ito proyekto.
02:11At yung nireklamo kay Pangulo na binisita sa Bulacan ay 2021 pa pala ito nagawa.
02:21The palace insists President Marcos is determined to hold accountable those behind failed and fictitious projects,
02:30even members of his own administration.
02:33Earlier, Marcos replaced the Public Works Chief, ordered courtesy resignation of the agency's officials,
02:42reshuffled the Philippine Contractors Accreditation Board, revoked licenses of firms linked to Sara Diskaya,
02:48and suspended district engineers tied to questionable projects.
02:52Wala pa pong Pangulo sa history na gumawa ng ganitong malawakang pag-iimbestiga sa mga maanumaliang flood control projects.
03:06Kahit natamaan ang kanyang administrasyon, matapang ang Pangulong Marcos Jr. na ito ay paimbestigahan.
03:13The Chief Executive has also ordered a review of next year's proposed budget for the Public Works Department.
