MANILA, Philippines – Sen. Panfilo Lacson on Saturday warned that senators, along with members of the House of Representatives, may be complicit in the ongoing controversy involving anomalous and ghost flood control projects, reiterating his call for complete transparency in the national budgeting process., This news data comes from:http://wkyi-pap-ki-krkh.yamato-syokunin.com
Lacson said on radio that lawmakers from both chambers routinely propose budget amendments or "insertions"—a practice that, while technically legal, can be exploited to channel funds into questionable infrastructure projects.
“I’m not saying it’s only House members,” Lacson said in Filipino. “It’s possible that some senators have inserted funding for such projects and even profited from the 25 percent share typically given to the ‘funder’ or proponent.”
Pressed further on whether senators might be tied to these fraudulent schemes, the senator replied, “There may be senators and House members who are connected to anomalous flood control projects.”

Lacson, a long-time advocate for budget transparency, refrained from naming specific individuals, stressing the importance of solid evidence. “It’s not right to name names without proof,” he said. “In my case, I only make findings public once they are backed by factual and verifiable information.”
