The Senator said that he is saddened by what is happening now to his fellow senators, and he hoped there is no truth to this. “
Nalulungkot naman ako syempre… Sana hindi totoo,”
Lapid said.
Then, the actor-politician pointed out that the blame must be on the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH). He said that the agency was the one that implemented this and not his fellow senators.
“Hndi naman dumadaan ang budget sa amin,
” he stressed.

Lapid added that there were those who requested for budget for a certain project, but this was not being done by senators. He said that they are hoping that the accusations against several senators were not true.
Ikinalulungkot ko, syempre kaibigan natin ‘yon, mga kasamahan natin dito ‘yan. Sana mapatunayan natin na hindi totoo,”
Sen. Lito Lapid said.
It can be recalled that in November, Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla confirmed the charges to be filed against former and current senators.
