00:00Good morning. I am here together with Mayor Benji Magalong to inspect some of these problematic, again, flood control projects.
00:14I think you can see for yourself na talagang hindi trinabaho ng mabuti ito dahil yung ginawang slope protection supposedly dito ay bumigay kagad.
00:25Sinama, pati yung slope protection na dapat na nandyan na hindi ginawa ay gumuho lahat ito, bumagsak dito, babigat, nasira yung kalsada.
00:40Ngayon, nakita ngayon namin yung erosion sa ilalim ng kalsada which is the most important part ay wala na, na-erode na dahil yung ginawa nilang protection wall ay ubod ng hina, ubod ng liit.
00:55At you will see it later, you can see it there sa ilalim ng tunnel, talagang na-erode na dahil yung slope protection dito sa baba sa tabi ng ilog ay napakababa at napakahina.
01:12Kaya at nung pumasok yung tubig, nung bumigat yung tubig, eh tangay kagad.
01:16Kaya at makita mo rito, tangay na itong lahat.
01:19This was all destroyed because of the landslide here, the rockslide here, and the erosion under the road.
01:29Now, the project that was supposed to take care of this cost as 260 million, more or less, 260 million.
01:41The 260 million that the government spent for this project had no effect whatsoever as to protect the slope.
01:52Parang walang ginawa.
01:54Sana, pareho lang.
01:57Kung wala silang tinayo, wala silang linagay na wall, wala silang linagay na riprap, wala silang ginagay na slope protection, ganun din ang nangyari.
02:05Kaya at ang valor ng kanyang lang trabaho is zero, complete zero.
02:12And here's the other thing, that's why I keep talking about economic sabotage.
02:17Ang feedback natin from the mayor and from the other, the mayor of Tuba is also here.
02:23Mayor Clarita.
02:25Come, come join us.
02:27Alika, mayor.
02:29Dito ka.
02:29Oh, we are talking to the mayor in terms of the effect on businesses.
02:36Because of this, because nagsara ito, hindi na magamit ito, in terms of business, 30%, 35%, I think is the number, 35% kaagad ng kanilang hanapuhay ay nawala dahil dito.
02:51So, it is not only the damage, the physical damage that we can see, but it is also the damage to the economy.
03:00It is also the damage to the people's livelihood.
03:04Naghahanap buhay lang naman itong mga taong ito, tinanggal sa kanila 35% ng kanilang hanap buhay para ibulsa ang pera ng gobyakno.
03:16Kaya't naman, hindi kayo magtataka that if there's one thing, I will not leave this office until I fix this, this is it.
03:27This is one of those things.
03:29So, very, very clear.
03:30Here we go again.
03:32Pang-ano na tayo?
03:33Pang-lima na yata nating inspeksyon nito.
03:38And it's always the same.
03:40Now, we will go to the next side.
03:44Yun naman, yung rock netting.
03:48Yun yung tinatawag na rock netting.
03:50Kung makita ninyo, may mga netting na dinalagay sa ano.
03:55Unang-una, because napaka-notorious ng rock netting sa korupsyon, pinagbawal na ang rock netting.
04:06So, pero ginawa nang ginawa pa rin.
04:09Pinagbawal na yan eh.
04:11Pero ginawa nang ginawa pa rin.
04:12Bukod pa doon, kilala ko ang supplier ng rock netting.
04:20Ang presyo ng rock netting is 3,200 pesos.
04:28Ang sinar sa gobyerno is more than 12,000 pesos.
04:33So, times four.
04:35Times four.
04:36So, 75% ng kontrata kinikbak.
04:43So, that's the situation we are facing.
04:46Kaya't malala ito.
04:47The other item that I have begun to learn from the LGUs, puti na lang nandyan yung LGU na nakabantay.
04:57But the LGUs are all complaining.
05:02Dati, ang sistema, pagka may project sa isang lugar, palimbawa, mayor ako, na may project ng DPWH o contractor doon sa lugar ko, magkukonsulta sa local government.
05:19Hindi lang, pag malaking project, hinihiring yan from barangay to municipal to province.
05:25Mas, walang ganun, walang ganun na ginawa dito sa lahat na ito.
05:30Eto pa, kapag natapos, natapos, tapos na raw yung project, dati, ng gobernador ako, may acceptance ng local government.
05:42Sasabihin ng local government, okay, maayos yung inyong ginawa.
05:46So, tinanggal na yun.
05:49Kaya't hindi makapag-inspeksyon sila, pero wala na silang magawa.
05:53Inspeksyonin nila, sasabihin nila, hindi magandang pagkaayos, pagkagawa, hindi sapat o mahina or whatever.
06:01Wala nang magawa yung local government executive.
06:05So, tinanggal yung SOP na yun.
06:07That SOP is that before you release the project to the local government, kailangan tanggapin ng local government.
06:16And that's something that we will reinstitute.
06:20Yun ang ibabalik natin.
06:22Because the local government, alam nyo naman ako, matagal ko na sinasabi, because of my experience as governor.
06:30Ang local government, wala kaming ginawa, kundi araw-araw tinitignan, in-inspeksyon namin lahat yan.
06:35Hindi yung minsanan.
06:37Every single day, we walk around, go around, we hear reports from ordinary people, hindi yung mga opisyal, but ordinary people.
06:44And kaya na sila yung nakakaalam.
06:47That's why that acceptance is so important.
06:50And that's what we are going to reinstate.
06:52That's going to be one of the measures that we think.
06:55Bakit yun ang inintay na mo?
06:57Oo, bakit nila natanggalin?
06:58Oo, hindi pwede yun.
07:00Hindi pwede yun.
07:02Kasi kung hindi tangkap ng local government, maliwanag, may problema yan.
07:06If the local government, hindi masaya kung magkaroon ng slope protection, hindi na masasara yung kansada.
07:15Masaya kami pag mayroong flood protection, hindi na babaha.
07:20Di siyempre tatanggapin ka agad kung maganda.
07:23Pero kung hindi maganda, sila rin ang magsasabi.
07:26Dahil silang nakakaalam.
07:28Sasabihin, yung dinagay ninyong reprep, masyado mababa.
07:31Dahil yung bahar nito, maamod dito, hanggang dito lang yung pader ninyo.
07:36All of those things.
07:37So, those are the things that we have to correct.
07:39Over the years, these abuses only came about kasi pinapalitan ang sistema.
07:48And dinadaya lang talaga.
07:50No consultation with the local government.
07:52No acceptance from the local government.
07:55All of that.
07:55Kaya mabigat ang gagampanan na role ng ating local government dito sa ating mga ginagawa para maayos na.
08:04Marami.
08:05Well, si Mayor Benji has been very vocal about the problems that we have.
08:12That's why napunta ko dito.
08:13And the comments and the sumbong that have been arriving at our website has been very, very useful.
08:23Kaya pagpatuloy sana ninyo ang inyong pagsumbong.
08:27And I'm not just talking to local government officials kahit sino.
08:31Basta may alam kayo.
08:33Sabihin ninyo sa amin, pa-inspeksyon natin.
08:35Kung may problema, ayusin natin ang problema.
08:38So, here's the problem here.
08:41This is 260 million project.
08:45Useless.
08:47Parang tinapon mo yung pera sa ilog.
08:50Useless.
08:52To correct this, will cost double that.
08:55That's my top of the head estimate.
08:58500 million ito para ayusin.
09:02At least.
09:02Kasi hindi lang itong nakikita ninyo rito.
09:07Kundi hanggang doon sa loob eh.
09:09Hanggang doon sa ilalim nitong tunnel eh.
09:14So, there's a lot of work that needs to be done.
09:18So, how can you tell me that it's not economic sabotage?
09:21Kinuha mo yung 260 million.
09:24Wala kaming nakitang effect doon sa kanyang ginawa na kontrata.
09:28Tapos, para ayusin yung binigay ninyong problema sa amin,
09:33it will cost another 260 million.
09:36Probably double 260 million.
09:39Hanggang 500 million na yan.
09:41Kaya,
09:42I don't blame anyone for being
09:46for being disappointed, frustrated, angry
09:50and paying for blood.
09:53Okay, thank you.
