Cavite Rep. Jolo Revilla Speaks on Hopes with Marcos Jr.’s Administration
JOLO REVILLA – The representative of the 1st District of Cavite claimed that he is ready to work with President Bongbong Marcos to achieve the goals of a “more progressive” society.
Several officials of the government were tagged in the flood control issue in the Philippines. According to Pres. Bongbong Marcos, he always had a suspicion of corruption in the government but he’s shocked by its scale. The supposed corruption through the flood control deals is not about millions anymore but billions.
According to Marcos Jr., nothing will happen to the Philippines if the corruption will go on. He stressed that he cannot allow it to continue even if some erring officials can stand the damages that the corruption inflicted on the lives of many Filipinos. During a podcast interview, the President also junked the accusations that he opened the issue for politics.
Several officials of the government were tagged in the flood control issue in the Philippines. Both the House of Representatives and the Senate even had a change of leadership amid the supposed multi-billion scam. Marcos Jr.’s cousin himself, Leyte Congressman Martin Romualdez who was still House speaker then was accused of allegedly receiving kickback from flood control projects. He denied the allegation.
Cong. Martin Romualdez resigned from being the House speaker amid the issue of alleged multi-billion flood control corruption. He claimed that he wants the ICI or the Independent Commission for Infrastructure to be able to fully and freely exercise their mandate to investigate without undue influence.
Sen. Chiz Escudero was also ousted from the Senate Presidency. He was issued a show cause order by the Commission on Elections (Comelec) over the P30-million campaign donation that he received from a contractor. Roberto Bernardo, a former undersecretary of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), also accused Escudero of allegedly receiving a P160-million flood control kickback.
