Philippine President and Congress Investigate Massive Corruption in Flood Control Projects
Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Congress have launched investigations into alleged massive corruption in flood control projects, potentially implicating public officials, construction firms, and politicians. Amid widespread flooding that displaced hundreds of thousands and caused extensive damage, lawmakers are probing ghost projects and substandard work linked to billions of pesos in infrastructure spending. Marcos plans to form an independent commission to investigate and prosecute those responsible, emphasizing that ordinary Filipinos suffer most when flood control fails.
