Senator Francis “Chiz” Escudero practically admitted “some guilt” when he singled out Leyte Rep. and former Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez as the key figure in the multibillion-peso flood control sc*ndal, according to economist Solita “Winnie” Monsod.

In a recent interview on Bilyonaryo News Channel’s *On Point*, Monsod said Escudero’s accusation—claiming Romualdez crafted a “script” to deflect public anger from House members to senators—was a tactic to shift blame and suggest someone else was “guiltier.”

“All of them initially plead not guilty, pero si Escudero, he changed the narrative. He didn’t clear his own name but pointed fingers, implying he might have some guilt,” Monsod explained.

She stressed that it’s clear to most Filipinos that senators and congressmen who inserted questionable funds bear the heaviest guilt, especially those who bypassed proper processes.

When asked if Escudero made a “valid point” in naming Romualdez as the main culprit, Monsod said, “Hindi. This is the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee; senators should first examine their own chamber before blaming others.”

She emphasized the House of Representatives must also investigate its own members, but the Senate can step in if the House fails.

“Before you point out the mote in your neighbor’s eye, better check your own,” Monsod concluded, noting that while the House inquiry is done, the Senate committee can still pursue investigations on lower chamber members.

Sa panayam ng DZMM nitong Oktubre 1, 2025, sinabi ni Falcis na may tatlong depensa siya sa isyu nila ni Escudero. Una, binanggit niya ang pahayag ni Pangulong Marcos na “mahiya naman kayo!”—ito raw ay sumasalamin sa damdamin ng mga Pilipinong abogado at mamamayan.

Aniya, “Kung ang isang Filipino ay tumawag ng ‘shameless’ sa isang politiko, ano ba ang out of line doon?” Dagdag pa niya, “Hindi ito ad hominem, kundi isang political judgement at opinion kung walang hiya ba ang isang tao.”

Ibinunyag ng Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) na target nilang padalhan ng *subpoena* sina Rep. Martin Romualdez, dating Rep. Zaldy Co, at Sen. Mark Villar bilang bahagi ng imbestigasyon sa umano’y iregularidad sa mga flood-control projects.

Ayon kay ICI Executive Director Brian Hosaka nitong Oktubre 1, 2025, posibleng ipatawag si Villar dahil siya ang dating DPWH secretary.

*"That’s a possibility, yes. Because (Villar) was a former secretary of the DPWH,"* ani Hosaka sa media.

The Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) will summon Leyte Rep. and former Speaker Martin Romualdez, resigned Ako Bicol Rep. Zaldy Co, and Sen. Mark Villar for their alleged roles in the multibillion-peso flood control sc*ndal, ICI Executive Director Brian Keith Hosaka announced Wednesday.

Romualdez, acc*sed of receiving large kickbacks from questionable flood control projects, has already been subpoenaed for ICI’s initial hearings in early September, Hosaka said. “He was invited already; I just need to confirm if he received the subpoena,” he added.

Senator Villar, former DPWH secretary (2016–2021), will also be compelled to testify due to his role during the projects.

At a Senate blue ribbon hearing on Sept. 25, retired Marine MSgt. Orly Guteza, Co’s ex-security aide, claimed he delivered suitcases containing P48 million each to Co and Romualdez. Former DPWH Undersecretary Roberto Bernardo also implicated Villar, saying he supported his promotion in 2016 despite admitted wrongdoing in flood projects.
