Manila, Pilipinas<\/strong> \u2013 Maaaring dumalo si dating Bicol Party-list Representative Elizaldy \u201cZaldy\u201d Co<\/strong> sa darating na Senate Blue Ribbon Committee hearing<\/strong> sa pamamagitan ng Zoom, ayon kay Sen. Panfilo Lacson<\/strong> nitong Huwebes.<\/p>\n

Inanunsyo ni Lacson na ang hearing ay gaganapin sa Nobyembre 14<\/strong>, at layunin nitong talakayin ang mga alegasyon ng iregularidad sa mga flood control projects sa Bicol, isa sa mga rehiyon na iniulat na apektado ng mga posibleng ghost o substandard projects.<\/p>\n

Mga Isyu at Background<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Lumabas ang pangalan ni Co kaugnay ng mga proyekto sa infrastruktura na diumano\u2019y may irregularidad sa alokasyon at implementasyon ng pondo<\/strong>. Noong Agosto, nagpunta si Co sa United States para sa medical treatment<\/strong>, ngunit hindi na matukoy ang kanyang kasalukuyang kinaroroonan matapos na bawiin ang kanyang travel clearance noong Setyembre. Humingi na ang gobyerno ng tulong sa Interpol<\/strong> upang mahanap siya.<\/p>\n

Bukod kay Co, iniulat ni Lacson na iimbitahan din ang dating House Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez<\/strong> upang tugunan ang alegasyon mula kay whistleblower Orlando Guteza<\/strong>, na nawawala mula noong nakaraang buwan. Ayon kay Guteza, ilang DPWH district offices ay diumano\u2019y naglaan ng kickbacks mula sa flood control projects para sa ilang politiko.<\/p>\n

Pag-iimbestiga at Koordinasyon<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Ayon kay Lacson, may mga verification teams ang komite sa ilang probinsya upang tiyakin kung ang mga DPWH-listed flood control projects ay tunay na naipatupad.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cSome of these supposed projects are either incomplete or nowhere to be found. We\u2019re verifying whether they were truly implemented or only recorded as accomplished,\u201d ani Lacson.
(\u201cAng ilan sa mga diumano\u2019y proyekto ay kulang o hindi matatagpuan. Tinitiyak namin kung tunay nga bang naipatupad o nakatala lamang bilang natapos,\u201d ani Lacson.)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Ang Senate Blue Ribbon Committee ay nakikipag-ugnayan sa Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI)<\/strong> at sa Office of the Ombudsman<\/strong>, habang tinutunton ng Anti-Money Laundering Council<\/strong> ang financial trail na maaaring magpatunay sa alegasyon ng diversion ng pondo.<\/p>\n

Tatlong saksi \u2014 sina Bryce Hernandez, Henry Alcantara, at Pacifico \u201cCurlee\u201d Discaya II<\/strong> \u2014 ay nananatiling detenido sa Senado dahil sa pagtangging makipagtulungan sa imbestigasyon.<\/p>\n

Pokus ng Hearing<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Ang Nobyembre 14 hearing ay nakatuon lamang sa flood control projects bago palawakin sa iba pang infrastructure programs tulad ng farm-to-market roads. Binibigyang-diin ni Lacson na ang pangunahing layunin ng imbestigasyon ay accountability<\/strong>, hindi political spectacle.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not here to vilify anyone. We just want to find out where the people\u2019s money went and who should be held responsible,\u201d ani Lacson.
