OVER 1,000 Filipinos had already reported on President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr.'s flood control complaint website within just three days since it launch on Aug. 11, the Palace reported on Thursday.

Palace Press Officer Clarissa A. Castro said the sumbong-sapangulo.ph website had received 1,148 reports, 823 pieces of feedback, and 84,892 total views from Aug. 1] to Aug. 13.

Mr. Marcos on Monday, revealed that 6,021 flood control projects launched since July 2022, totaling over P350 billion, lacked basic details specifying the type of infrastructure to be built.

He flagged troubling findings from an initial government review, including 50 separate projects that shared an identical contract price of P150 million.

The President also noted that out of the P545 billion in total flood control funding since 2022, P100 billion (about 20%) went to only 15 contractors. Notably, five of these firms secured projects in nearly every region across the country.
