00:00President Ferdinand R. Marcus Jr. confirms a major development in the anomalous flood control project probe,
00:06announcing that documents implicating former House Speaker Martin Romualdez and resigned Congressman Zaldico will be submitted before the ombudsman.
00:15What are their possible charges in this report?
00:19It came directly from President Ferdinand R. Marcus Jr. himself that the DPWH and the ICI will submit to the ombudsman
00:26the documents they have gathered related to the investigation on anomalous flood control projects.
00:31Kagaya ng aking nasabi nung nakaraang report ko, ay patuloy ang pagre-report ko sa taong bayan
00:39tungkol sa mga kaso at saka sa mga informasyon na nakukuha natin tungkol sa mga flood control project na hindi maganda.
00:48At kaya ngayon ay nais kong ipalaman sa ating mga kababayan na ang ICI at saka ang DPWH ay lahat ng nakuha nila na informasyon
01:03ay i-re-refer, ibibigay na sa ombudsman.
01:08The President said the information to be submitted is related to former House Speaker Martin Romualdez
01:12and resigned Representative Zaldi Koch, both of whom are being implicated in alleged insertions in the 2025 national budget.
01:19The President assured that the ombudsman will review all evidence to determine whether there is sufficient basis to file charges.
01:26Pag nakita lahat ng ebidensya, baka mag-pile ng kaso ng blunder o anti-graph o indirect bribery.
01:34Malakas naman ang loob natin na iyong ombudsman ang ginagawa lamang ay sumusunod sa ebidensya.
01:42At kung saan tayo dinadala ng ebidensya, doon pupunta ang ating imbisigasyon.
01:47The President thanked the public for their contributions to the investigation
01:51and reiterated his commitment to transparency in addressing the issue.
01:54Significant progress has been made in the investigation of corruption and flood control projects within three months
02:00since the President launched the Sumbong ng Pangulo website on August 11
02:04and created the ICI on September 11 to probe corruption in government infrastructure projects over the past 10 years.
02:11President Marcos himself initiated the investigation
02:13when he revealed systematic corruption and regularities in flood control projects during his fourth sauna on July 28.
02:20Meanwhile, the DPWH said arrest warrants against those involved in the anomaly will be issued soon
02:25and more ill-gotten assets will be recovered by the government to be returned to public funds,
02:30including the public auction of around 30 luxury cars owned by couple Curly and Sarah Descaya,
02:36who have allegedly been linked to corruption and flood control projects.
02:39Very symbolic itong mga ito, no. First warrants of arrest, gagalabas na,
02:45at unang mga pera ng mga kababayan natin na ibabalik na sa kanila, sa ating lahat.
02:54So, napaka ano, in fact ako medyo kinikilabutan nga ako, no.
02:59Kasi ito na yung inihintay ng mga kababayan natin na pananagot, no.
03:03Na meron ng mga makukulong at meron ng perang maibabalik.
03:07The palace earlier said that the proceeds from the auction of the Descaya couple's vehicles
03:12will go directly to the national treasury.
