Marcos to St. Timothy: Explain failed flood control project in Bulacan
President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. is seeking explanation from St. Timothy Construction Corporation as regards to its supposed failed flood control project in Calumpit, Bulacan.
This, as Marcos conducted a site inspection of the Rehabilitation of the River Protection Structure following his revelation last that Bulacan province has the most flood control projects, with 668 projects.
''St. Timothy ang kontratista dito kaya titingnan natin, kailangan pasagutin natin kung bakit ganito ginawa nila... mas mabuti pa dapat pumunta sila rito, makita nila gaano kahirap ang buhay na binigay nila sa mga kababayan natin,'' a furious Marcos said.
(This is St. Timothy, St. Timothy is the contractor so we will look into it. They need to answer why this happened... They should go here to see how this affects the lives of our kababayans.)
''Pambihira (Unbelievable), this has been going on for years...'' he added.
''Kailangan nila sagutin bakit ganito... anong, what possible excuse do they have for not doing this... hindi ko maisip,'' Marcos added.
(They should explain this, what possible excuse do they have for not doing this... I can't think of any.)
GMA News Online asked St. Timothy for comment on the President's remarks but it has yet to reply as of posting time.
Marcos, meanwhile, said he has learned that no dredging or desiltation has happened in the area as part of the flood control project.
On Monday, the President disclosed that 20% of the total P545 billion budget of flood control projects was awarded to only 15 contractors, including St. Timothy Construction Corporation. —VAL, GMA Integrated News
