Andaya links Diokno to questionable flood control projects 274 SHARES Share it! In 2017, a P73-billion budget proposal was sought for flood control. Included in the 2018 appropriations were the huge flood control project funding for the congressional districts of Sorsogon Rep. Deogracias Ramos and Catanduanes Rep. Cesar Sarmiento. “Pero ano nangyari, napunta lamang ang mga flood control (funds) sa mga distrito na hindi humihingi ng dagdag na pondo paraditto (What happened was flood control funds went to districts that have no use of additional funds for this),” Andaya declared. Suspicions of irregularities in the awarding of the flood control projects were raised by Andaya as he noted that 30 contracts were won by only one contractor, the CT Leoncio Construction and Trading Company based in Bulacan.
