Manila Bulletin
|August 15, 2025
Malacañang disclosed that it has received 1,148 reports on flood-control projects lodged through its newly-launched Sumbong sa Pangulo website aimed at gathering citizens' report on problematic projects.
Palace Press Officer and Communications Undersecretary Claire Castro disclosed that from Aug. 11 to 13, they have received 1,148 reports and 823 feedbacks. The website had 84,892 views since it was launched.
Castro, however, did not disclose the nature of the reports.
On Aug. 11, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. announced the rollout of the Sumbong sa Pangulo website dedicated for the probe and assessment of flood-control projects in the country, which includes a citizens' report mechanism.
Despite being exposed by Marcos as the contractors getting 20 percent of all flood-control projects in the country, the 15 contractors are still obligated to accomplish their contracts, Castro said.
Even if some of them have already been flagged in the past, they still need to complete their new projects, the Palace official said. However, she believes that they should have not been trusted with new projects in the first place.
