00:01Senate Blue Ribbon Committee Chair Ping Laxon addresses criticisms that investigations into

00:05flood control corruption has not led to substantial results. This as the panel resumes its hearing on

00:11Monday, January 16. Laxon cites the filing of charges with the Sandigan Bayan and other courts,

00:16the preliminary investigations before the Ombudsman and the Department of Justice,

00:20as well as the freezing of at least 21.7 billion pesos in bank accounts and other assets.

00:25He also cites uncovering the system of blacklisted companies resurfacing under new names,

00:30uncovering of the practice of license renting, and awarding of billion-peso contracts to

00:34undercapitalized firms. He also says the hearings triggered reforms in the budget process,

00:39including the live streaming of the bicameral meetings.

00:41Let me emphasize one point. We always go where the evidence leads us. We do not target any particular

00:51person, nor do we have the intention to cover up for anybody. With all that being said, as the

00:59chairman of this committee, I say to you, shut the F up.
