so the news here is crazy again, flood control projects that’s supposed to protect people from disaster turns out to be another source of corruption.
A district engineer admitted in a hearing that some officials and lawmakers are taking their cut, like up to 30% from the budget, just imagine that.
They even showed piles of cash prepared for the so-called “proponents” as proof.
In one deal alone it already reached P355 million, and that’s not even the full picture. billions get allocated every year but the situation never changes, still the same floods, the same broken homes, the same useless projects. now they’re saying there could be dozens of ghost projects too, money gone and nothing ever built.
How long will this cycle continue? funds meant to save lives end up stolen, and people are left with nothing but empty promises.
Help Philippines, don’t let this just pass by like another headline.
