President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., the son of the late tyrant, will always respect human rights and sympathize with the people amid their disappointments over the flood control mess, Malacañang said on Saturday, September 20.

“Kaya ang pinasimulan ng Pangulo na pag-iimbestiga tungkol sa maanomalyang flood control projects ay magpapatuloy upang mapanagot ang mga taong nang-abuso sa pera ng bayan. Nais din ng Pangulo na ang taumbayan ay makipagtulungan sa gobyerno para matigil na ang pag-aabuso na ito,” Palace Press Officer Undersecretary Claire Castro said.

(That’s why the President’s investigation into anomalous flood control projects will continue to hold into account those who took advantage of our nation’s coffers. The President also wants the public to cooperate with the government to end these abuses.)
