00:00WALANG TAGAGOBYERNO
00:30Susunod na linggo ay aanunsyo na kung sino-sino ang magiging miyembro ng independent body na mag-iimbestiga sa mga flood control project.
00:39Wala pang formal name pero yun ang binubuo namin, independent commission para imbestigahan, eto nga ang mga lumalabas na anomalia sa mga flood control project.
00:50Yung mga personalities, ayoko namang maunahan ang actual announcement dahil hindi pa solid talaga pero malapit na.
00:59Tatlo ang magiging miyembro ng komisyon. At ayon sa Pangulo sa aking eksklusibong one-on-one interview noong Sabado, wala sa mga ito ang magmumula sa gobyerno.
01:10Paano sila maiba po sa mga existing agency like COA, Ombudsman?
01:14They're completely separate from government.
01:16But how powerful will they be?
01:18We will give them all the powers that are necessary for them to come to a conclusion, to come to some findings, para meron naman, alam natin kung ano yung nangyari.
01:27Hindi man ibinunyag sa ngayon kung sino-sino ang mga ito, nagbigay ng mga clue ang Pangulo.
01:34Kailangan daw na merong abogado o isang justice.
01:38Kailangan din daw ng imbestigador at forensic accountant.
01:41Will they be able to even investigate the congresspeople, the senate, the subpoena powers?
01:49Will they be able to investigate anything and anyone?
01:52Otherwise, then what they will have, may sacred counter na naman, may pinaproteksyonan dahil kasama sa politika, whatever.
02:00Pagka nangyari yun, wala rin kabuluhan yung kanilang imbestigasyon.
02:05Sabi pa ng Pangulo, maaring hinga ng tulong ng komisyon ang lahat ng ahensya ng gobyerno,
02:11halimbawa sa NBI para sa imbestigasyon o kaya'y sa COA para sa impormasyon.
02:18Wala raw sasantuhin kahit pa kaalyado o kaanak.
02:21I said, we're making an omelette.
02:23We're going to have to break some eggs.
02:25There's just no way around it.
02:27Even if they're relatives as well.
02:29Well, who's more important?
02:32Your friend?
02:34Your political supporter?
02:36Or every single ordinary Filipino citizen?
02:40Who's more important?
02:42To me, it's the Filipino citizen.
02:45Nobody is more important than Filipinos.
02:48Nobody, nobody, not one person is more important.
02:50Not me, not anybody is more important.
02:54Pero sabi rin ng Pangulo, rekomendatory lamang ang kapangyarihan ng komisyon.
02:59Pagkatapos daw nilang suriin lahat ng impormasyong nakuha o nabigay sa kanila,
03:04magre-rekomenda kung dapat bang kasuhan o hindi ang isang inimbestigahan.
03:10Ang kanilang rekomendasyon e pwedeng ibigay sa DOJ o kaya'y sa ombudsman para sa paghahain ng kaso.
03:17Sabi ng Pangulo, naging malaking tulong ang sumbong sa Pangulo website na hindi lang daw reklamo sa mga flood control project ang nakuha.
03:27Since we created the website, we have 12,000 plus already reports that are coming in.
03:34And these reports, hindi lang itoโ€ฆ
03:38Hindi lang flood control projects.
03:40Ah, hindi lang. May mga paving, mga road widening, marami, maraming dumadating.
03:47Of course, it was supposed to be, we started talking about only flood control.
03:52Pero siyempre, nagkaroon ng tao ng line of communication sa akin na para makapagreklamo sila,
03:59ginagamit talaga nila. That has been very effective and that's why I encourage everybody to lahat ng hinihikayat ko kayo lahat.
04:10Pagka meron talaga kayong gusto, ireklamo, ireklamo ninyo.
04:13Kamakailan, ang Pangulo mismo ang nakabuking ng mga ghost flood control projects sa Bulacan
04:20na nabayaran na ng buo ng pamahalaan pero wala ni isang bakas at mistulang guni-guni lamang.
04:28Kung hindi guni-guni, substandard naman ang ilang proyekto na nadudurog agad ng inspeksyonin ng Pangulo.
04:36Lumabas din ang mga maranyang pamumuhay ng ilang mga kontraktor,
04:41pati na ng ilang district engineer ng ilan, umamin pang panay-panay ang pagkakasino.
04:46Sa laki at lawa ng nabunyag ng mga katiwalian sa mga flood control project.
04:53Tanong ko sa Pangulo, bakit paging ganitong kamahasin ng corruption?
04:57Sa nung ako ay governor, hindi ganito.
05:04At bukod pa sa laki ng halaga ng nakukuha ng kung sino-sino na tao na wala namang karapatan na bulsahin ang pera na yan,
05:14bukod pa ron, ay hindi nila tinatago.
05:21Garapala na po.
05:23In your words, it's economic sabotage.
05:26Ay, yun naman sya, kasi ngayon sila, wala, walang pakialam.
05:29It did not happen overnight.
05:30This happened over many decades.
05:35And we have to figure out kung ano ba talaga ang nangyari para hindi na mangyari ulit to put the safeguards in place.
05:41Ako, nasasya-saka, hindi ako makapaniwala na nandito na tayo na ganito na ang gobyerno na...
05:49But so many regimes, and it just keeps getting worse, so...
05:53It did.
05:53The simplistic answer will be, paano tayo nagkaganto?
05:57Dahil pinabayaan.
05:58And what can we do?
06:00What we can do is to find out how this happened,
06:04who are the people that are involved,
06:06make them answerable for their wrongdoing,
06:10and fix the structure so this is not allowable.
06:13That's the word that I think that I...
06:17It became allowable.
06:18Okay lang.
06:19Hindi problema yan.
06:21Hindi krimen yan.
06:22Sige lang.
06:23But to the level na 30% na lang yun ay iwan sa mga proyekto,
06:27astounding yun.
06:29That's the part that talagang hindi ako makatulong pag iniisip ko.
06:33Paano tayo nagkaganto?
06:35I would think it's heartbreaking when you see all these Filipinos working so hard,
06:38tapos on the flip side,
06:40nakikita ko nyo yung massive corruption na nangyayari.
06:43I mean...
06:44No, I'm not disheartened.
06:46I'm not disappointed.
06:47I get very, very angry.
06:49How can you do this to people that have worked every day of their lives?
06:54Walang ginawa ito kundi magtrabaho.
06:57Nag-sakripusyo ng mahirap.
06:59For very little.
07:01Kukunin nyo pa sa kanila yun para bumili ng Rolls Royce.
07:06Babalik na naman ako doon sa nasabi ko kanina
07:08na ang lalim ng kalawang.
07:15Ang lalim ng bulok.
07:18You're a teary-eyed.
07:20Yes.
07:20Because I'm very upset.
07:23No, because I see people having a hard time.
07:25And they don't deserve it.
07:30Mabuti mga kumasamang tao yan.
07:33Dapat parusahan.
07:35Hindi naman eh.
07:38Ba't mo paparusahan?
07:40Para magpayaman ka?
07:43That makes no sense to me.
07:44Do you ever regret being president?
07:47No.
07:48Not for...
07:49You didn't even pause to think.
07:51No, not for one moment.
07:54Why?
07:54Because I am given the opportunity to actually...
07:58The privilege, the opportunity and the chance to actually do something.
08:02All of the things that I complained about all my life,
08:06now I can do something about them.
08:07And that is the greatest privilege that anyone can be granted.
08:11So no, I don't regret.
