Philippines Senate LIVE: Explosive testimony identifies legislators, officials in Philippine flood-control corruption inquiry | CNBC TV18 Former Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) undersecretary Roberto Bernardo has implicated Senators Francis "Chiz" Escudero and Nancy Binay in the alleged kickbacks from anomalous flood control projects. "After inclusion of the projects in the General Appropriations Act, I delivered 20 percent of approximately 800 million or about 160 million to Maynard Ngu, which was meant for Senator (Chiz) Escudero," Bernardo said during the hearing on Thursday, pointing to Escudero's involvement. Agenda: Motu proprio inquiry, in aid of legislation, on “The Philippines Under Water” Privilege Speeches of Sen. Panfilo M. Lacson, delivered on August 20, 2025, and September 9, 2025, entitled: “Flooded Gates of Corruption” and “Flooded Gates of Hell”, respectively. Privilege Speech of Sen. Jinggoy E. Estrada, delivered on September 10, 2025, entitled: “No One is Safe” Committee Chairman Sen. Panfilo Lacson said retired DPWH Usec. Roberto Bernardo is expected to face the probe after his name was mentioned in previous hearings linking him to several anomalous flood control projects. Bernardo, former undersecretary for operations, already submitted his prepared affidavit to the committee, according to Lacson. Also expected to face the committee today are former DPWH engineers Brice Hernandez and Henry Alcantara as well as flood control project contractors, including Curlee and Sarah Discaya. This is the 6th hearing on the flood control projects and the 3rd to be presided over by Senator Lacson. #philippines #Blueribbon #philippinesSenate #marcosjr #manila #cnbctv18 #livenews
