Bonoan misled Marcos, gave wrong flood control coordinates — LacsonMANILA, Philippines — Sen. Panfilo “Ping” Lacson said former Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) secretary Manuel Bonoan submitted inaccurate map coordinates for thousands of flood control projects to Malacañang. The Sumbong sa Pangulo website was launched by Malacañang after President Marcos ordered an investigation into anomalous flood control projects and named the top 15 contractors that cornered P100 billion in contracts between 2022 and 2025. “So nililigaw niya para maweaken yung teorya o masira ang kredibilidad na ‘yung mga ghost flood control project ay talagang ghost,” Lacson said. (So he is misleading people to weaken the theory or undermine the credibility of claims that these ghost flood control projects are indeed ghost.) Senate to probe 'Cabral files'The Senate Blue Ribbon Committee, which has been conducting a legislative probe into the flood control corruption scandal, is set to resume its hearings on January 19.
