LIVESTREAM: Senate blue ribbon committee resumes flood control probe

2026/01/19 12:14

MANILA, Philippines – The Senate blue ribbon committee continues its investigation into alleged corruption in flood control projects on Monday, January 19, following the return of former Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) secretary Manuel Bonoan and the issuance of subpoenas to several key figures.

The committee’s chairman, Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson, earlier accused Bonoan of submitting a list of fake project coordinates to Malacañang, leading to a bloated count of ghost flood control projects in the country.

Bonoan returned to the Philippines on Sunday, January 18, after spending a month longer in the United States than he had initially indicated.

Lacson also said the committee will extend an invite to the former owner of a luxury property in Makati City which former House speaker Martin Romualdez supposedly purchased through the Discaya couple. Romualdez has since denied the accusations, and claims he never met the Discayas.

The Senate president pro tempore said other personalities with alleged ties to anomalous flood control projects have been subpoenaed:

  • former congressman Zaldy Co
  • former Department of Education undersecretary Trygve Olaivar
  • Commission on Audit Commissioner Mario Lipana
  • Maynard Ngu, the alleged bagman to Senator Francis “Chiz” Escudero

Why It Could Outperform Pepe Coin And Tron With Over $7m Already Raised

The post Why It Could Outperform Pepe Coin And Tron With Over $7m Already Raised appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 20:26 While meme tokens like Pepe Coin and established networks such as Tron attract headlines, many investors are now searching for projects that combine innovation, revenue-sharing and real-world utility. BlockchainFX ($BFX), currently in presale at $0.024 ahead of an expected $0.05 launch, is quickly becoming one of the best cryptos to buy today. With $7m already secured and a unique model spanning multiple asset classes, it is positioning itself as a decentralised super app and a contender to surpass older altcoins. Early Presale Pricing Creates A Rare Entry Point BlockchainFX’s presale pricing structure has been designed to reward early participants. At $0.024, buyers secure a lower entry price than later rounds, locking in a cost basis more than 50% below the projected $0.05 launch price. As sales continue to climb beyond $7m, each new stage automatically increases the token price. This built-in mechanism creates a clear advantage for early investors and explains why the project is increasingly cited in “best presales to buy now” discussions across the crypto space. High-Yield Staking Model Shares Platform Revenue Beyond its presale appeal, BlockchainFX is creating a high-yield staking model that gives holders a direct share of platform revenue. Every time a trade occurs on its platform, 70% of trading fees flow back into the $BFX ecosystem: 50% of collected fees are automatically distributed to stakers in both BFX and USDT. 20% is allocated to daily buybacks of $BFX, adding demand and price support. Half of the bought-back tokens are permanently burned, steadily reducing supply. Rewards are based on the size of each member’s BFX holdings and capped at $25,000 USDT per day to ensure sustainability. This structure transforms token ownership from a speculative bet into an income-generating position, a rare feature among today’s altcoins. A Multi-Asset Platform…
