Government remains 'very stable' amid corruption probe, says Bersamin
Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin asserted that the Philippine government remains "very, very stable" despite issues surrounding ghost and substandard flood control projects.
Bersamin described the situation as internal dynamics, normal within the country's political landscape, and does not perceive any threats to stability.
He deferred questions regarding the alleged involvement of legislators in kickbacks, stating that Congress should handle such evaluations.
Bersamin admitted he is "concerned" about flood control projects that appear to be non-existent or "ghost" projects.
He added that the revelation of lawmakers' alleged involvement in the anomalous flood control projects is a natural consequence of what President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. wanted to happen.
