Presidential Communications Office (PCO) Undersecretary Claire Castro said investors are closely monitoring how the government addresses corruption, particularly the anomalies uncovered in flood control projects.

"Sa ating pagkakatingin, nakikita ng mga investors kung paano nililinis ng kasalukuyang administrasyon ang ating bansa mula sa korapsyon, sa isyu ng pang-aabuso sa pondo ng bayan (In our view, investors can see how the current administration is cleaning up the country from corruption, particularly issues involving the abuse of public funds)," she said.

Castro said the administration's actions send a strong signal that accountability is being enforced at all levels of government.

She noted that demonstrating seriousness in pursuing those responsible for anomalous projects strengthens both investor confidence and public trust in President Marcos and his administration.
