There will be no allies or adversaries in the government’s crackdown on questionable flood control projects.
President Marcos made this assurance in the latest episode of “BBM Podcast” aired over GMA 7 on Monday night, as he hinted he was aware which officials benefited from these failed or nonexistent projects.
The President said he already had “some names” of the private contractors involved in these anomalous projects.
But he stopped short of naming them, even as he emphasized that “they know who they are.”
“They are very notorious. They have been doing this for a long time,” Marcos said. “I’m sorry but they will have to account for their actions and they will have to account for the expenditures that they have made that we did not see the results.”
“You cannot fix the problem without knowing who to blame. So, one thing follows another,” he said further.
“So, for us to fix the problem, we have to know what happened, where things went wrong, and who should be held accountable. Someone must be held accountable for the plight that our fellow citizens are going through. They deserve to know who is responsible, and someone must answer for their suffering,” the President said.
When asked if there were allies of his among these corrupt officials, Marcos said: “Then I am sorry, I’m no longer your ally if that’s what you’re doing.
