Secure the DPWH, save the evidence

The nation has just received another gut punch.

- 

In a revelation as damning as it is disturbing, retired Supreme Court Justice Andres Reyes Jr., chairman of the newly created Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI), disclosed that personnel from the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) have allegedly been destroying and tampering with official documents linked to suspicious flood control projects.

This is sabotage—of the truth, of justice, and of public trust.

If these allegations are accurate, then we are not simply facing another corruption scandal. We are facing widespread destruction of evidence, an institutional cover-up that aims to strangle the truth before it can even breathe. These actions compromise not just the integrity of the ICI's investigation, but the very integrity of the government itself.
