‘Ghost’ farm roads flagged in Davao Occ, Zamboanga del Norte
The Philippine Star
|September 30, 2025
The Department of Agriculture (DA) has flagged incomplete or “ghost” farm-to-market road projects in two provinces so far, as part of its ongoing audit of infrastructure programs, amid concerns over possible corruption and mismanagement in multibillion-peso flood control projects.
Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr. said yesterday two anomalous projects were identified in Davao Occidental.
“It was two, in 2021 and 2022. We have not seen any recent projects, just those two,” Tiu Laurel told reporters in a chance interview at the House of Representatives.
He noted that in the overall scope of DA infrastructure initiatives, the scale of the issue was relatively small.
