Marcos expects Bonoan to tell truth in flood probeMANILA, Philippines — President Marcos is confident former public works and highways secretary Manuel Bonoan will tell “only the truth” in the ongoing probe on the multibillion-peso flood control scandal, Malacañang said yesterday. Bonoan appeared before the Senate Blue Ribbon committee on Monday, a day after arriving from the United States. He denied there was ill-intent in his submission of misleading coordinates of flood control project locations to Malacañang. Lacson on Monday said testimony presented by two female witnesses during the Blue Ribbon hearing was insufficient to implicate Romualdez in the flood control mess. Marcoleta also said the minority released a report last Dec. 10 about the flood control probe when he was Blue Ribbon chair.
