Marcos flags anomalies in ₱545-B flood-control projects
Tempo
|August 12, 2025
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has raised alarm over “disturbing” findings in the government's flood-control projects, citing questionable contractor distribution, vague project details, and mismatched priorities.
In a press conference held Monday morning, August 11, Marcos revealed that 20 percent of the entire P545-billion flood-control projects nationwide were awarded to only 15 contractors, with five of them handling projects in nearly every region.
Marcos called this “the most striking” detail and emphasized the need for a thorough investigation.
Marcos also disclosed that more than P350 billion worth of projects lacked clear descriptions of the type of flood control being built, repaired, or rehabilitated.
