00:00Muling lumutang ang panawagang pagpapanagot
00:03sa mga sangkot sa mga maanumalyang flood control project
00:07bunso ng malawakang pagbaha sa Metro Manila at mga karating lugar.
00:13Pero mula ng pumutok ang issue,
00:16ilan na nga ba ang nakakasuhan?
00:18Ating himayin yan sa pagtutok ni Joseph Moro.
00:24Sa paglumog sa baha ng maraming lugar sa Metro Manila,
00:28lumutang ulit ang issue sa umunay-manumalyang flood control projects
00:32at panawagan na may managot dito.
00:36Sigaw nga ng ilang na-trap sa baha.
00:44Ang panawagan hindi raw lingid sa kalaman ng opisina ng ombudsman.
00:49We'd like to offer our thoughts, prayers to those who were affected by the floods yesterday.
00:54Dahil po sa nangyari kahapon,
00:57we see that the flood control structures that were supposed to protect our communities from the floods
01:02definitely did not work.
01:05Sa isang pulong dati ni Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Rimulia sa liderato ng Senado,
01:09hiniling niya na ang ombudsman na ang mag-imbestiga ng lahat
01:13ng mga posibleng kaso kaugnay ng mga flood control project.
01:16Pero ilan na nga ba ang nakakasuhan ng ombudsman
01:19simula ng pumutok ang issue sa flood control project noong nakaraang taon.
01:24Hinihingi pa namin ang listahan ng ombudsman pero sa sariling pagtatala
01:28ng GMA News Research,
01:30as of July 2026,
01:3245 na mga individual na ang nakakasuhan ng ombudsman sa Sandigan Bayan.
01:37Kasama na si Sen. Gengoy Estrada,
01:40dating Sen. Bong Revilla,
01:42dating House Appropriations Committee Chair Saldi Co,
01:44Uswag Ilonggo Party Disrepresentative James Ang
01:47at dating DPAA Secretary Manuel Bonoan.
01:50Sa labing limang kontraktors na may pinakamalalaking nakuhang proyekto,
01:54dalawa pa lamang ang may kaso.
01:56Ang St. Timothy Construction Corporation,
01:59ang magkasawang Pasifiko at Sara Descaya na nakakulong na,
02:02at ang Sunwest Incorporated na umunoy kay Co.
02:0535 na iba't ibang kaso yan,
02:07ng plunder, indirect at direct bribery,
02:10graft pati ng money laundering.
02:12Ayon kay Assistant Ombudsman Mico Clavano,
02:14nadagdagan niyan ng isa pang kongresista,
02:17si Tarlac 3rd District Representative Noel Rivera,
02:21na kinasuhan ng siyam na counts ng GRAF
02:23sa Sandigan Bayan nitong Agosto.
02:26May pito pang mga kongresista ang sumasa ilalim ngayon
02:29sa preliminary investigation na isang hakbang pa
02:32bago kasuhan,
02:33tulad di dating House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
02:36Dalawang senador naman ang sumasa ilalim
02:39sa preliminary investigation,
02:40si na Sen. Chisa Scudero
02:42at Sen. Joel Villanueva,
02:44samantalang sumasa ilalim
02:45sa fact-finding investigation,
02:47si Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano.
02:50The files of Sen. Ping Lakson
02:52have been officially received
02:55by the Office of the Ombudsman
02:56and undergoing fact-finding.
02:58So there are certain things
03:01that the team deems necessary
03:03to verify and to complete
03:06para po mas cohesive yung theory natin.
03:13Kamakailan,
03:14ibinulgarin dati ng DPW Secretary Manuel Bonoan
03:17ang tungkol sa Leadership Fund.
03:19Ito yung alokasyon sa budget
03:21para sa priority infrastructure projects
03:23ng mga mambabatas.
03:24Interesado daw dito ang Ombudsman,
03:26pero may kondisyon.
03:28The Ombudsman would like to see
03:31a very open and voluntary statement
03:35on his part
03:36without leaving out any details.
03:39Kasi nung nabanggit ni Ombudsman dati,
03:42yung statements ho ni
03:44former Secretary Bonoan
03:46seem to skirt certain issues,
03:48certain personalities
03:49ang gusto natin mag-tell all.
03:51Hiningan pa namin
03:53ang pahayagang kampo ni Bonoan.
03:55Joseph Morong,
03:57Nakatutok 24 Oras.
