00:01Sen. Ping Laxon says his team identified at least 32 allegedly anomalous flood control projects in Taguig City, with at
00:07least two being ghost projects.
00:09But Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano disputes the allegations.
00:13During the Department of Public Works and Highways budget hearing, Cayetano directly asked Public Works Secretary Vince Dizon whether the
00:19agency had found any ghost projects in Taguig.
00:22Ilan ang conclusive na sa inyong investigation na ghost projects across the nation?
00:27Dizon says there are 10 confirmed ghost projects so far. Cayetano then asks about projects in Taguig, to which Dizon
00:34replies,
00:38Laxon disputes Dizon's statement. In a social media post, the Sen. says Dizon directly contradicted DPWH's own site inspection reports
00:46in Taguig,
00:47specifically submitted by personnel from the Department's Bureau of Quality and Safety and Bureau of Maintenance.
00:52The Sen. cites DPWH records involving a project supposedly located in Taguig, with geotagged site photos reportedly showing coordinates in
01:00Leyte, around 600 kilometers away.
01:03Dizon later clarifies, investigation into flood control projects in Taguig is still ongoing.
