No one is safe: Senator Jinggoy Ejercito Estrada, in a privilege speech on September 10, 2025, denounced as blatant lies the accusations hurled against him by former DPWH official Brice Hernandez linking him to ghost flood control projects in Bulacan. Estrada stressed that Hernandez, already cited in contempt for lying under oath, was merely diverting attention from his own involvement in anomalous projects, billion-peso money laundering, and lavish casino lifestyle. He presented sworn statements from DPWH officials that directly implicated Hernandez and his associates in the scam, along with evidence of their extravagant assets inconsistent with government pay. Recalling his past acquittal in plunder cases, Estrada vowed not to be silenced, declaring that “no one is safe” from corruption, deception, and retaliation—but reaffirmed his resolve to pursue truth and accountability.
