参议院临时议长潘菲洛(Pro Tempore Panfilo " Ping " Lacson)指责国会系统腐败, 以及该国洪水控制项目一再失败, Senate President Pro Tempore Panfilo “Ping” Lacson has blamed Congress for systemic corruption and repeated failures in the country’s flood control projects, citing inadequate oversight, poor planning, and political interference as key factors. 他认为,立法机构在批准和监测基础设施方面的作用导致管理不善和贪污,导致项目无效,使社区在风暴期间变得脆弱。 He argued that the legislature’s role in approving and monitoring infrastructure has enabled mismanagement and graft, leading to ineffective projects that leave communities vulnerable during storms. Lacson呼吁进行全面改革,在洪水控制筹资和执行方面提高透明度、加强问责制和基于业绩的监督,强调公众日益关切政府效率低下和公共工程浪费问题,特别是在易发生洪水的城市地区。 Lacson called for sweeping reforms to improve transparency, accountability, and performance-based oversight in flood control funding and implementation, highlighting growing public concern over government inefficiency and waste in public works, particularly in flood-prone urban areas.
