By As hearings on the alleged corruption in flood control projects continue to chug on in the Philippines, uncovering billions of kickbacks allegedly going to the pockets of politicians, Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Vince Dizon called out their greed.
Dizon was interviewed on “Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho” after Brice Hernandez, former Assistant District Engineer of DPWH Bulacan, alleged that they had brought luggage filled with money to the home of Ako Bicol Partylist Representative Zaldy Co.
“I think ang first step, kailangan matakot ang mga gumagawa nito o posibleng gumawa nito,” Dizon said. “Ang problema dito sa nangyari kina Mendoza, Hernandez, Alcantara, wala silang takot eh. Para ipaglantaran mo, yung ninakaw mong pera, mag-casino ka, gumawa ka ng 100 milyon, 200 milyon, ibig sabihin nu’n wala kang takot, [“Those who are doing this, or who might do this, need to be afraid. The problem in what happened to Mendoza, Hernandez, and Alcantara is that they had no fear. To openly display money you stole—going to casinos, flaunting 100 million, 200 million—that means you have no fear.”]
