Small fry, big fish in anomalous flood control projects will be sent to jail – Dizon

Those responsible in the massive corruption in the flood control projects—from the small fry to the big fish— must be sent to jail as one of the effective measures to prevent the repeat of anomalies in government infrastructure projects, Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Vince Dizon said on Sunday, Sept. 21.

Dizon issued the statement amid the public outcry for truth and accountability which was marked by the twin protest actions in Manila and Quezon City which were both attended by thousands of protesters.

"The first step is to put (the) fear of God in everybody, and the only way to do that is to hold people to account, that is the first step. If nobody would be sent to jail from top to bottom, we would just be fooling ourselves and this will just keep on happening again and again and again," said Dizon in an interview over ABS-CBN.
