MANILA, Philippines – Magpapalabas si Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ng Executive Order na pormal na lilikha ng Independent Commission na titingin sa mga maanomalyang flood control projects.
“Ah, yes. We are putting together the EO that will create the independent commission,” ang sinabi ng Pangulo.
“The independent commission will be the investigative arm, so that they will continue to investigate whatever information is received. It will be sent to them, they will investigate it, and they will make recommendations as to how to proceed, whether kasuhan itong mga ito or i-Ombudsman, o dalhin sa DOJ, whatever it is, but they will recommend to the Executive what to do with certain parties who have been found to be part of all of this corruption that has been going on, not only in flood control. All of the workings within DPWH,” aniya pa rin.
At nang tanungin kung sino ang mamumuno sa nasabing body, sinabi ng Pangulo na depende ito sa magiging balangkas ng komisyon, na aniya’y hindi pa nadetetermina.
“Well, we have very… It depends on how it’s structured. Five members ba, seven members? Sino maghe-head, sinong chair? All of those things. So we haven’t put the structure together yet. But the names, I think… I mean it…” ang winika ni Pangulng Marcos.
Samantala, sinabi ng Pangulo na ang body ay mangangailangan ng forensic investigators, mga abogado, mga hukom, at mga piskal na titingin sa mga piraso ng mga ebidensiya na may kinalaman sa maanomalyang flood control projects.
“And they will put together that information and make the recommendation to either DOJ or the Ombudsman, depending on who is found to be liable for some of these nefarious activities,” aniya pa rin. /Kris Jose
