00:19Kumanta na ang mga whistleblower ayon sa Department of Justice
00:23At ang tinutukoy ng DOJ, sinadating DPWH under Sekretary Roberto Bernardo,
00:29Mga dating DPWH engineers na sina Henry Alcantara, Bryce Hernandez, JP Mendoza, RJ Dumasig at kontratistang si Sally Santos.
00:40Ayon kay Justice Undersecretary Jesse Andres, bukod sa siniwalat na nila ang lahat ng kanila mga nalalaman,
00:46itinuro din daw na mga ito ang mga nakatransaksyon nila, kabilang ang ilang senador at kongresista.
00:53Previously, the first interview, they gave a few anecdotes, narratives.
00:59The second interview, they gave a little more.
01:02But now, I'm very happy to say that they are telling everything.
01:07So at this point in time, we believe that there is now sufficient evidence to implicate even politicians.
01:15We already have a handful of senators, a handful of congressmen, but the work doesn't stop there.
01:25Magbabalik din ang mga ito ng ari-arian sa gobyerno na maaari raw umabot sa isang bilyong piso.
01:31Cash, real properties, land, houses, as you said, jewelry, motor vehicles, that is part of the negotiation.
01:46And they are also saying that everything that was already frozen in their accounts.
01:54Iniaanda na raw ang kasunduan para mapabilang ang mga whistleblower sa witness protection program.
02:00Pero kailangan masunod ang reglamento sa ilalim ng batas.
02:04Their testimony should be absolutely necessary for the prosecution of the case.
02:08And they are not the most guilty in the scheme of the crime.
02:13We are not giving any blanket immunity to any of the whistleblowers.
02:19And they have agreed to that and they understand the situation.
02:22But we will give specific immunity for each particular case where their testimony will be used.
02:30Sa ngayon, hindi raw kasama ang mga kontratistang sina Sara at Curly Diskaya sa mga whistleblower.
02:36They have stopped coordinating with us.
02:40But the office is always there, open if anybody, any possible whistleblower would come forward.
02:46Ayon sa DOJ, unang masasampahan ng kaso sa Korte ang mga sangkot sa ghost projects sa Bulacan.
02:53Sa lunes nasisimulan ang preliminary investigation ng DOJ dito.
02:57The evidence to support the offenses charges are already complete in our possession.
03:03They will be confronted with all the evidence gathered by the task force
03:07and they will have their opportunity to explain their side.
03:10Patuloy daw nilang iimbestigahan ang kaugnayan ng iba pang senador at kongresista na maaaring sulod na makakasuhan.
03:17Pati na si former representative Zaldi Ko na naiugnay daw ng mga testigo sa labing-anim na transaksyon.
03:24Pagtitiyak ng DOJ, matibay ang ikinakasa nilang mga kaso.
03:28The present legal framework and the existing laws together with the working institutions
03:34are very much capable of exacting accountability on all levels.
03:41Para sa GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo, Nakatutok 24 Horas.
