Sen. Go wants accountability for flood control project anomalies

Senator Christopher "Bong" Go has emphasized the need for accountability regarding anomalies in flood control projects, stating that audits and explanations are insufficient.

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. identified top contractors involved, including firms linked to Sarah Discaya, with whom Senator Go's father's company, CLTG Builders, partnered for five road construction projects.

These projects, valued at over P816 million in 2017, involved CLTG Builders and St. Gerrard Construction, with the elder Go reportedly signing contracts with the DPWH.

Senator Go, who was special assistant to former president Rodrigo Duterte at the time, stated at a Senate blue ribbon committee hearing that he had "nothing to do" with these transactions.

Discaya confirmed the joint venture with CLTG Builders, but could not recall if the projects were related to flood control.

Go reiterated his lack of involvement in his family's business operations and vowed to recommend charges against anyone found deficient, even relatives, if irregularities are discovered.

Discaya admitted to owning nine companies that have secured several government deals.
