Philippine Senate Hearing Live | Flood Control Scam Worse Than Napoles, May Implicate Solons –Lacson
#SenateHearing #BlueRibbonCommittee #FloodControlProjects Senator Panfilo Lacson on Thursday warned that the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee’s probe into anomalous flood-control projects could extend to lawmakers, saying that the scale of the irregularities uncovered so far is worse than the pork barrel scandal linked to Janet Lim-Napoles.
Lacson, who chairs the committee, said the panel would not hesitate to summon senators or representatives if the evidence warrants it, stressing that the inquiry would not protect anyone despite parliamentary courtesies.
He confirmed that closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage is being secured showing a supposed emissary, identified only as “Mina,” delivering alleged obligations inside the Senate.
“Kung masagasaan, masasagasaan. Kung may pagtatakpan, bakit tayo mag-iimbestiga? (If anyone is hit, so be it. If there is a cover-up, then why are we even investigating?),” Lacson told reporters at the Kapihan sa Senado forum.
