YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDuring the resumption of the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee hearings, Panfilo Lacson delivers a pointed defense of the committee’s investigation into alleged multibillion-peso corruption in flood control projects. Lacson criticizes what he calls skeptics and detractors of the probe, arguing they are diverting attention from a broader scheme involving colluding contractors, DPWH coordinators, and intermediaries. The inquiry is examining allegations of bid-rigging, padded project costs, and ghost projects, initially exposed in Bulacan but now believed to reflect a nationwide pattern of misuse of public funds.
The hearing focuses on claims that former DPWH secretary Manuel Bonoan transmitted incorrect grid coordinates to Malacañang, causing inspection teams to initially label hundreds of projects as nonexistent—fueling concerns over inflated reports and oversight lapses within the DPWH. Senators also begin examining the so-called “Cabral files,” documents left by the late DPWH undersecretary Catalina Cabral, which Lacson says must be authenticated to establish whether they substantiate allegations of bribery, ghost projects, and collusion nationwide.
