The hairy Philippines has the construction of a law that is being read between floods for flood control
The Philippine government is thinking of giving the fullness of the former chairman of the committee assigned to Elizaldy S. Co, who are believed to have fled from Portugal to lend to the Sandiganbayan – Warrant issued for the arrest of the flood control project in Orientan.
Palace press officer Charia A. Castro told a news conference that while it was “possible to look into it,” No formal negotiations have taken place.
Mr CO is facing charges of graft.
The case is part of a wider investigation into a corruption scheme involving high-ranking officials and private contractors who received kickbacks from government projects.
Separately, Ms. Castro referred to the need for a financial audit of the life of the president’s son and Ilocos Norte Alexander “SAndro” A. Marcos III, Sandro “A. Marcos III, Sandro” A. Finances from 2023 to 2025.
He said there is no limit to finding any public servant who has given way of life and provided that the first family always accepted the review.
The recent Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism (PCIJ) highlighted that the DPWH’s money has become a de facto pork barrel, allowing lawmakers to use a large budget of the regions.
Sandro Marcos reportedly received P15.8 billion, while former speaker and cousin of the president Ferdinand Martin G. RomalDez
“The President read the PCIJ Report,” said Ms. Castro. “[Sandro] he said he surrendered, and whatever issues concern him, he will personally go to [Independent Commission for Infrastructure] It will be investigated,” added the Philippines.
The PCIJ report raised concerns about transparency, political favoritism and justice, noting that money was released before specific projects were identified.
Unparalleled DPWH projects have also been used for politicization and kickbacks, suggesting that a strong influence of understanding persists, reflecting the previous Port Barrel program.
President Ferdinand R. Marcos, JR. he has tried to reassure the public by promising jail time for those involved in flood control projects.
He previously announced arrest warrants for Mr. CO and several others linked to public activities that were anamalous using money in Buracan, north of the capital.
The former President flagged P545 billion in flood funds for flood spending starting in 2022, saying that about P100 billion in contracts went to only 15 contractors, including companies tied to political parties.
On November 26, Mr. Marcos said that many assets linked to the flood control were frozen, bringing the total up to P12 billion.
The Anti-Money Laundering Council said the cold assets include 3,566 bank accounts, 198 insurance policies, 247 motor vehicles, 178 real accounts and 16 wallet accounts.
