MANILA, Philippines — Malacañang on Thursday said it would look into the claim of Senate President Pro Tempore Panfilo Lacson that former Public Works secretary Manuel Bonoan “deliberately” submitted wrong grid coordinates of flood control projects to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
"At present, we are still verifying the statement made by Sen. Lacson so we can't provide any details yet. We need to verify this first," Palace Press Officer Claire Castro said during a press conference.
Lacson, who heads the Blue Ribbon Committee, said the data provided by Bonoan was used for the Sumbong sa Pangulo website.
The Sumbong sa Pangulo website was launched by Malacañang after Marcos ordered an investigation into anomalous flood control projects and named the top 15 contractors that cornered P100 billion in contracts between 2022 and 2025.
