Senate committee to submit partial report on flood control projects

The Senate blue ribbon committee is set to submit a partial report on alleged anomalous flood management projects, according to Senate President Pro Tempore Panfilo Lacson.

Lacson stated that the committee report is being crafted and may be sponsored in the Senate plenary after the ongoing debates on the proposed national budget for 2026.

The committee may continue its investigation into flood control projects but will exclude issues already included in cases filed with the Sandiganbayan.

Lacson mentioned that most issues raised during previous hearings are now part of cases filed with the Sandiganbayan, necessitating the exclusion of these matters due to the sub judice rule.

Other areas not covered by existing court cases will be investigated.
