Witness accompanies Court in inspection of controversial flood control project in Bulacan

Witness Kenneth Fernando from the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) tells Sandiganbayan Associate Justice Karl Miranda that there is 'no seen accomplishment' at the supposed end of the flood control project in Pandi, Bulacan, the subject of the malversation through falsification case filed against former senator Ramon Revilla Jr. and others. An ocular inspection on April 15, 2026 by the Sandiganbayan Third Division showed sheet piles. Revilla and his co-accused are seeking bail.

00:00Do you know from the records, what is your basis?
00:06DED plan, DED engineering design, yes.
00:09Walang, as state, wala?
00:13Wala po yung...
00:13As built, wala?
00:15Wala po yung record.
00:15Okay, so from what we see here...
00:20DED.
00:21Okay, so from what we see here,
00:24can you tell us what stage of any project we are at this point?
00:30I'm not saying 299, but if there's a project here,
00:34can you tell the court?
00:37Would you tell us the status or the stage of this project, if any?
00:45Based on visual, there's no seen accomplishment, Your Honor.
00:50None at all?
00:52Why do you say that?
00:54Because there's no structures seen, Your Honor.
00:57Counsel?
00:59Pilapin lang.
00:59Pilapin lang.
01:00So, are you willing to stipulate that from the point we started,
01:04yung the supposed starting point of project 299,
01:08up to where we are,
01:10that we have not seen any structure?
01:13Are you willing to stipulate?
01:15On the part of Great Inandoza, Your Honor,
01:17we are not willing to stipulate,
01:19considering that based on the details of engineering design,
01:23the supposed structure, or the design design,
01:27there should be sheet files embedded in the bank of the river,
01:32or whatever, the water.
01:34So, it might be that the sheet files are embedded under the soil,
01:39and we cannot see it with our...
01:42We will go down now also,
01:44and check,
01:44or go to the other side.
01:46Pwede mo yun?
01:47To check?
01:49Is it possible to see kung may sheet files na nakalabas?
01:52We have maintenance crew on, or they can...
01:54No, we...
01:55The court has to satisfy itself.
01:57You are in...
01:58Council for the accused also.
02:01Okay, so, what's the best way...
02:04You...
02:04What's the best vantage point to view,
02:07if ever there are sheet files?
02:09No, no, no, no, no.
02:12No, no, no.
02:12We will do that.
02:14Council, you will come and check, okay?
02:17Okay, what else?
02:19Any other manifestation?
02:22No, no, no.
02:24No, no.
02:24No, no.

02:26No, no.
02:27No, no.
02:29No, no.
02:29No, no.
02:36We are not stipulating,
02:37considering that neither my client nor myself
02:40have the competence to make that...
02:43You...
02:43You cannot see if there's a structure, remember?
02:47The technical competence, Your Honor.
02:49The technical?
02:50Okay.
02:51Noted.
02:52We will go in...
02:54Are you visual now?
02:55Any visual now?
02:57For the prosecution, Your Honor?
02:58Yes.
02:59The stipulate, Your Honor,
03:01I receive the locator,
03:02there is no structure.
03:03In Thailand,
03:04the parties walk from the...
03:06the start of the project,
03:08as pointed to by the district...
03:10acting district engineer,
03:11up to the point that we're standing right now, Your Honor,
03:13which is supposedly the end of the project.
03:16That is as far as the...
03:18The prosecution.
03:19The top area is concerned,
03:20where we walk through.
03:21Now we will just double-check on the site, okay?
03:25So who can leave us there?
03:28Yes.
03:28Yes.
03:31We'll be back on a different...
03:40The bias that I'm standing right here.
03:41The bias that I might look that I am on ak was back.
03:59When we look at the fires...
