VANCOUVER, Canada — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Saturday (Sunday in Manila) said that the government is not done yet holding accountable those involved in the flood control scandal.
In an interview with reporters here, Marcos said the controverdy may have started before his administration.
He said that former president Rodrigo Duterte acknowledged that there were great problems in terms of the flood control but nothing happened.
"Well, I cannot say that we have done enough because we are not done yet. Unfortunately, the more we look, the more we find. And it is going already back beyond my administration, beyond my term," Marcos said.
"And so we are still doing it. We're still working on it. As I said, the more we look, the more we investigate, the more we find. And this is a, I think, you're all experienced journalists, you know this is a deep-seated system of corruption that requires not only structural changes in the way government is run, in the way the budget is written, but also a change in attitude," he added.
