LIVE from the Philippine Senate Blue Ribbon Committee: Authorities intensify the investigation into the flood control scandal as no-show contractors linked to the alleged corruption are arrested. The committee is pushing for full accountability amid growing public outrage over delayed and substandard flood control projects that have worsened the country’s recent flooding disasters.
The Senate Blue Ribbon Committee, led by Senator Rodante Marcoleta, continues its investigation into alleged widespread corruption in government flood control projects. Lawmakers are looking into the involvement of a possible syndicate after it was revealed that a small group of contractors were awarded the majority of these infrastructure projects.
The committee has issued subpoenas to several contractors who failed to attend the initial hearings.The probe was initiated after President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. called for a review of flood mitigation programs and questioned the "disproportionate concentration and awarding of projects to a selected group of contractors." The investigation also looks into so-called "ghost projects" where funding is allocated for projects that have already been completed.
