00:07to secure enough votes needed for formal filing.
00:09Laxon calls it a systemic corruption scheme which involves flood control projects, ghost and substandard works, kickbacks and collusion among
00:16officials and contractors.
00:18Where did the money go? Evidence on record shows how the flood control corruption scandal exposed a systemic, coordinated, multi

00:38Ang pattern ng korupsyon ay systemic at parasitic. Magkakaugnay mula sa mga aktor, mekanismo, at workflow.
00:49Only seven senators, including himself, signed a partial report on the flood control investigation.
00:54They are Erwin Tulfo, Risa Ontiveros, Bam Aquino, Kiko Pangilinan, Rafi Tulfo, and Senate President Tito Soto.
01:01Nine signatures are required for filing and sponsorship of a committee report.
01:05Meantime, Sen. Rodante Marcoleta criticizes the partial report and calls for more hearings.
01:10Mr. President, I cannot sign a partial report. A partial report is basically unfinished.
01:20Laxon also pushes for reforms such as stricter procurement rules, better oversight, stronger whistleblower protection, and possible scrapping of unprogrammed
01:28funds.
