Marcos to sever ties with allies linked to flood control anomalies

"Sorry, but I'm no longer your ally if that's what you're doing. I no longer want to be your ally)," Marcos said in an interview in his podcast.

It came as a follow up to his stern statement on the moneymaking scheme perpetrated by officials and contractors during his fourth State of the Nation Address. In his speech, he called out all those behind failed flood control projects, which he tagged as "pigments of imagination" and have caused massive flooding in many areas last month.

'They know who they are'

One week after his declaration of full-blown investigation on all flood control projects in the country, the President still did not name names but he bared that they have already identified some and names are coming up.
