Wala Kayong Takot sa Diyos’: Robin Padilla Calls Out Silence on Ghost Projects and Flood Control Abuse

Senator Robin Padilla delivered one of the most emotionally charged statements yet amid mounting scrutiny over ghost projects, substandard flood control works, and unfinished infrastructure despite massive funding.

“Wala kayong takot sa Diyos!” Padilla declared — not as political theater, but as a moral indictment.

For the senator, the issue has moved beyond numbers and budgets. It has entered the realm of conscience and accountability.

🌊 From Budget Issue to Moral Crisis

Padilla lamented what he described as the slow and deliberate shifting of the narrative — from responsibility for failed flood control projects to endless technical debates that blur accountability.

“Palayo na ng palayo ang usapan sa mga multo at gibang-gibang flood control.”

Despite billions allocated, communities continue to suffer from flooding, collapsed structures, and projects that exist only on paper.

⚖️ “Hindi na Ito Pulitika”

Padilla stressed that this is no longer about:

• Party lines

• Political loyalty

• Or financial interest

This is about right and wrong.

Ghost projects don’t just waste money — they endanger lives. Substandard flood control isn’t incompetence; it’s a betrayal of public trust.

🦅 AGILA TAKE

Kapag baha ang resulta,
pero pondo ang nawala —
may kasalanan ang konsensya.

Hindi lahat ng krimen
may baril.
Ang iba,
may pirma.

📖 Biblical Reflection

“The wicked flee though no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.”
— Proverbs 28:1

Truth doesn’t whisper.
It confronts.

🧠 Why This Matters

Padilla’s statement resonates because it voices what many Filipinos quietly feel:

👉 If leaders fear neither the law nor God, who protects the people?

This moment reframes the flood control scandal not just as a governance failure — but as a moral reckoning.

Budgets can be defended.
Numbers can be explained.
But conscience cannot be negotiated.
