He questioned the substandard materials being used for the construction.

“Tama naman siguro yung mga binabayad niyo para sa project diba? Kung tama, bakit ganito? Unless kayo, kung sinong binibigyan niyo, kaya kaylangan ganito ka-mura yung mga ginagamit niyo na [materyales]. 

Sinasabi ko lang. Alam naman namin mga paraan ninyo jan eh… Wag na tayong mag-lokohan.”

He said that the government has been giving them the right budget so the workers cannot use the reason of inadequate money for the project.

“Basta sa amin, pag-deliver pa lang, tama na kaagad. Hindi namin problema yung ‘eh kasi nagkulang yung budget’ eh tama yung binibigay namin sa inyo. Kung sino yung binibigyan niyo, wala kaming pakialam dun. Basta ang pakialam ko, is to give the people yung tamang gamit na para sa kanila na hindi sila magrereklamo pag dito lang isla nakatira.”

Gomez even pointed out the lack of cement used for the houses. The workers remained silent as the video ended.
