Third Senate Hearing Investigates Alleged Corruption in Flood Control Projects
A Senate hearing in the Philippines, held on Monday, September 8, focused on investigating alleged corruption in flood control project awards. The hearing was the third in a series of investigations, as previous hearings had already been held on this topic.
The accusations made during the hearing were related to flood control projects and involved allegations of kickbacks from these projects. Spouses Curlee and Sarah Discaya, who are the owners of companies involved in flood control projects, accused several lawmakers and engineers from the Department of Public Works and Highways of demanding kickbacks.
However, the third Senate hearing did not reveal any new companies involved, as the Discayas had already been mentioned in previous hearings. Similarly, the hearing did not disclose any new accusations, as the accusations of demanding kickbacks from projects awarded to companies owned by the Discayas were already made.
The focus of the third Senate hearing was on anomalous flood control projects, with the accused individuals working as lawmakers and engineers in the Department of Public Works and Highways. The hearing did not provide any new details about the flood control projects under investigation or any new information about the accused individuals, as they were already identified in previous hearings.
Our multimedia reporter, James Patrick Cruz, recapped the third Senate hearing for our website.com. While the date for any subsequent hearings has not been announced, it is likely that further investigations will continue in the future.
