Philippines Senate LIVE: Blue Ribbon Grills Witness On Flood Control Kickback | Senate Hearing LIVE
The Philippines Blue Ribbon Senate Committee is holding a live investigation into alleged corruption in flood control projects, a scandal involving massive funds and the possibility of multiple prosecutions.
Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla confirmed that engineers from the Department of Public Works and Highways, along with the Discaya couple implicated in the case, have applied for the Witness Protection Program (WPP). However, while under protection, they are not considered state witnesses—meaning they can still be prosecuted if proven guilty. The WPP, governed by the Witness Protection, Security and Benefit Act (Republic Act 6981), outlines both the protections and the legal limits of immunity for participants.
Tune in for full Senate hearing coverage, revelations on kickbacks, the role of surprise witnesses, possible perjury charges, and expert insights into how the WPP impacts accountability and justice in the Philippines.
