Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr said Thursday that many of at least 37 senators, members of Congress and busnismen implicated in a corruption scandal involving flood control projects would be locked up in jail by Christmas. Marcos said an independent fact-finding commission he created has filed criminal complaints for graft and corruption and plunder, a non-bailable offense, against the 37 suspects. Criminal complaints have also been filed against 86 construction company executives and nine Government officials for allegedly evading taxes totalling nearly 9 billion Pesos.
