“Ghost,” or non-existent, projects have been hounding the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) even during the term of Sen. Mark Villar, who headed the agency during the Duterte administration, according to Senate President Pro Tempore Jinggoy Estrada.

Estrada, however, clarified that the DPWH secretary was often excluded from finalizing the details of infrastructure projects.

“Minsan hindi nalalaman ng secretary ‘yan, ‘yung mga nasa taas. Ang mga gumagawa ng pera, ‘yung mga nasa baba,” Estrada said in an interview on Bilyonaryo News Channel’s “On Point” program on Tuesday night.

‘Yung mga regional directors, district engineers, mga hindi na pinapaalam doon sa nakakataas. ’Yun ang naging sistema,” he claimed.

He further alleged that district engineers and regional directors collude with officials of the Commission on Audit (COA) to manipulate government projects.

“Hindi papayag ang COA na ‘yan kung wala silang matatanggap,” Estrada added.

At the Senate blue ribbon committee’s inaugural hearing on Tuesday, Public Works Secretary Manuel Bonoan admitted that some of the nearly P6-billion worth of flood control projects in Bulacan turned out to be “ghost projects,” or were never built at all.

Most of the non-existent projects were awarded to Waowao Builders Inc., owned by a certain Mark Allan Arevalo.

andyan naman talaga yan lagi, pero magkaiba yung ipagmalaki ng admin ang flood control projects, yung duterte time di naman floods ang focus kundi economic infra so mas nakaka hiya talaga yung ipag malaki mo pero walang makitang effect

3

So you mean okay lang naman pabayaan na alng bumaha sa Pilipinas at walang gawing solution? At di naman naka focus ang Dutae administration sa economic infra kundi sa War on Drugs. Take majority of the Infra project ay nagsimula na bago nag assume sa office si Dutae, ribbon cutting alng naman ang ginawa niya.

4

haha kaya nga iba pa rin talaga ang damage ng admin na nag focus sa flood control since bobombahin mo yan ng pera ang sector na yan kaya if given naman na meron ghost edi mas malaki pa rin ang damage compared dun sa admin na never naman nag buhos ng pera sa sector na yan

5

kahit naman hindi bumuhos ng pera ang nakaraang admin sa flood control projects ay wala naamng ginawang action sila para pigilan yung corruption kase ayaw nila na wala silang makuhang malaking pera sa kaban ng bayan.

6

haha it still doesn’t changed the fact na mas malaki ang damage na ginawa ng admin ngayon

7

I agree at hindi yun mag babago kung walang ginawang action ang gobyerno ngayon kaysa na pabayaan na lang tulad ng dati na walang namang ginawa.

8

ahaha prioritizing lang ang governance bossing, impossible alagaan lahat ng problema ng bansa, limited lang ang resources, if hindi forcus ng last admin ang flood control then prerogative niya yun gaya nang prerogative ng bangag admin na mag focusvsa baha

9

At least alam natin na walang ginawang action ang nakaraang admin tungkol sa mga corruption, patunay dyan yung mga nasaangkot sila sa mga corruption.

10

oo tama yan at malalaman din natin na mas less pa rin ang damage kumpara sa admin na nagbuhos ng limpak limpak na salapi sa flood control

11

Hindi naman yan mangyayari kung hindi lang hinayaan ng past admin na mangurakot sila, bini-baby kase ng husto ni Dutae kaya ayun nasanay na kumuha ng malalaking kickback.

“First of all, it is Secretary Diokno – and not President Duterte or DPWH Secretary Mark Villar – who is really behind the insertions for the budget,” he said in a power point presentation at the Avenue Plaza Hotel in Naga, where the public hearing was held.

Bobo ka ba? hahahahaha

13

And why did Duterte approve the budget insertions? Dalawa lang dahilan niyang, wala talaga siyang alam or hinayaan lang niya sila mangurakot.

14

Source? hahahahaha binisto palang dyan.

15

haha wala naman mi isa sa past admins ang nag focus sa flood control, so ba’t mo pilit na i-single out si digong dito haha

16

haha ang na-approve ni digong is appropriation pa lang, lahat ng projects at this point is ghosts kasi nga pino pondohan pa lang jusko lerd mag isip ka naman, malalaman mo lang na literal na ghost yan once naubos na pera at walang makitang product

17

Tama nga naman si Mark Villar mismo nag ang nag approved at nag supervise ng mga ghost flood control project. Corruption is very rampant during Duterte and the current administration.
