00:00Do you have a connection to the investigation of flood control projects?
00:31And most of it, or 25%, the bulk of it went to 7th district. And 25% of it also
00:41went to a leading contractor, Kirante.
00:49And that should be a lot of money to control the flooding. But apparently, the past month, flooding happened again
00:59here in Cebu.
01:00So, we have to look at what's happening. Is it the design? Is it the execution? Or is it just
01:09corruption?
01:09Let's look at it. We will find out and we will know. And of course, the grand design of corruption
01:19in DPWH became very apparent.
01:21That there is no bidding.
01:23That's why one of our people here is that we lobby for digital tools through the law.
01:35That everything is really transparent.
01:38The bidding from the barangay up to the executive department should be digital.
01:48There should be a digital billboard for everybody to know and to see and to investigate.
01:53It should be a duty for people to record everything digitally so that transparency is promoted.
02:02So, the visitor here is really to be able to assert many things and one of them is actually flood
02:09control.
02:11There is no good news, sir.
02:13There is a tendency to know about all the people.
02:14So, if it is a reality that people can't understand.
02:14Why are they talking about the gens coming up to the people?
02:14That's a good question.
02:14I imagine the persons coming up to the people in P
02:14and they will be able to see a number of things on their own.
02:15But, actually, I'll be able to hear that.
02:18But, again, you can see a lot of things on your mind.
02:23So, I'm going to see the ability to do that.
02:24You
