Difficult to pin down culprits in flood control scams

It is more fun criticizing

You see the money for getting a project, even your name at the National Expendure Program (NEP) has to be paid up front 25% of it all.  So there is no doc/contract yet. It is verbal, tiwalaan.   So where is the evidence.   Can you sell even one guilty as a hell soul to the court.   None.  Nyet.  Nada

Its a perfect crime.  You know its there.  Like air.  But you cant describe it.   Or document them.  Only ZCo can be the answer.   To indict all his cohorts.  This includes.     The head...

Where are the investigations of the anomalies at DPWH leading to? Quo vadis?

It is more fun criticizing

1.   Sec Vince Dizon has joked that he nearly jumped into the river while inspectting an uncompleted bridge project.  He has been overwhelmed by the immensity of the difficulties at the Dept, and has not yet developed a system to overcome these difficulties

2.   Baguio City Mayor Magalong has resigned from ICI.

3. Testimonies from former Usec Bernardo has revealed that the following changes occur after submission of budget at NEP

     1.  At errata, those that were placed initially disappear, or are reduced, or are replaced by other projects

     2.   At BICAM more adjustments and insertions

4.  The testimony of driver/security of Cong Co, Orly Guteza is reported to be missing and his affidavit is to be discredited because the notary disowned the notarization.  That is the only damning evidence that links the scandal to high ranking govt official

5.  The testimonies are leading to the highest leaders of the land:

      1.  Mention of the exec secretary

      2.  The deliveries of huge sums of cash to houses of Cong Co at Valle Verde and Horizon and MR  Aguado residence near the gate of Gate 4 of Malacanang.

Romualdez Residence at Aguado st near Malacanang

6.  When there are mentions of calling to the hearing Congressman to the hearing, the Chair disallows this as a matter of courtesy.

       This post is bent to conclude that:

     1.  This is a show, a zarzuela;  nothing is going to happen.  All the suspects are clean:   no receipts

          no witnesses, no direct links for the kickbacks only  pictures and circumstantial  The alleged

          mastermind use the 11th commandment:   Deny deny

     2.  Only contractors and DPWH underlings would be punished, not the masterminds or the holders of

          the kickbacks

     3.  Investigation may lead to the top dog and investigations stop when conversation points to Malacanang. 

     4.  This post agrees to R. Tiglao's opinion that the investigations ordered by PBBM is a charade.  He

           knows that the rood of this mess comes from insertions, the increase of UA funds of P500B from

           GOCC, and the insertions that he declares is absent

     5.  Nothing will ever come out of this and this will trigger more violent protests.   

To uphold and defend the constitution; some acts on budgetting unconstitutional?

It is more fun criticizing

Just recently the OP reverted some funds cut from the budget of DILG towards acquisition of 911 equipment.  Only HOR can amend the budget;  the OP can not do it.  This also meant that the budget was flawed from the start and now a lot of problems are coming up   The preparation of the budget probably lacked discernment, proper processing and correct leadership

 Some were noted on alleged slip ups:     1.  The blank bicam report  2,  The OP budget was higher than the NEP submitted.

Is there a violation, is someone culpable?   Is this an impeachable offense?   Was the Pres. properly advised by EA a former member of the judiciary?

This post wonders if this is unconstitutional?
