00:00Let me ask the update regarding the contractors that supposedly
00:07have blacklist the president and DTI last year because they were involved in flood control projects.
00:14How do they have blacklisted them?
00:17And how do they have the ongoing infrastructure projects of the Marcos administration?
00:24Yes.
00:25For them, they were asked the President and the PICAB and DPWH.
00:31According to the PICAB, it was a ongoing process for the blacklisting of contractors
00:38that were involved in the infrastructure projects.
00:42Four of them were sure to revoke their license.
00:47And also to DPWH, it was 60 contractors that were able to blacklist.
00:55But as the President said, even though we have blacklisting of other contractors,
01:01they were not affected by the continued infrastructure for our country
01:06because there were a lot of contractors that were able to work.
01:11The President said that the President said that
01:16that the contractors should be paid immediately.
01:21That was the decision of the President
01:23when it was the last meeting with the economic team.
01:27So, they didn't need to be afraid of the contractors
01:30and the industry should be able to negotiate
01:34and transact with the government
01:36because the President said that the President
01:38will pay all the contractors to work better.
