Prosecute all involved government officials first

Or better still, simultaneously. If the president is now serious in unearthing corruption in the flood control projects, he should fire the DPWH secretary on the principle of command responsibility. The Ombudsman should act immediately.

- Atty. Josephus B. Jimenez

Instead of focusing on contractors only, like QM Builders, why not investigate immediately all public officials who use contractors to steal public funds. Include prosecutors and judges who acquit the guilty for malice or money.

This includes congressmen, governors, mayors, regional directors, district engineers, undersecretaries and assistant secretaries, resident COA auditors, members of the Bids and Awards Committees, and all those who have a say in the approval of the projects, supervision and control in the implementation, oversight functions in the project execution, certification of completion of said public works, release of funds and audit of all financial transactions. Congressmen who inserted pork barrel into the national budget should be exposed and prosecuted.
