Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson’s CORRUPTIONary, or the dictionary of corrupt practices in the wake of the flood control scandal, continues to grow.
On Wednesday, Lacson added a new term to the CORRUPTIONary: “Sahod,” or the collusion among contractors who take part in a bidding for infrastructure projects even if they know the result beforehand.
“Ito ang collusion ng contractors na sumasama sa bidding. Alam nilang talo sa bidding, sasahod sila, babayaran sila para matalo para maging legit ang bidding. Kailangan may kasamang iba pero kasama sa gastos yan (This is the collusion of contractors who take part in a bidding. The other contractors know they will not win but they join anyway to make the bidding seem legitimate because they will get a share),” Lacson said during the interpellation of his privilege speech on flood control projects.
