Lawmakers are looking into the involvement of a possible syndicate after it was revealed that a small group of contractors were awarded the majority of these infrastructure projects. <br />The committee has issued subpoenas to several contractors who failed to attend the initial hearings.The probe was initiated after President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. called for a review of flood mitigation programs and questioned the "disproportionate concentration and awarding of projects to a selected group of contractors." The investigation also looks into so-called "ghost projects" where funding is allocated for projects that have already been completed. <br /><br /><br />#philippines #Blueribbon #philippinesSenate #manila#SenateLive #PhilippinesUnderWater <br /><br />n18oc_live <br />n18oc_india
