The Commission on Audit (COA) reported significant delays in 22 out of 58 flood control projects under MMDA’s Metro Manila Flood Management Project Phase 1, totaling ₱510.58 million. Additional projects worth ₱371 million remain unimplemented due to poor planning and procurement inefficiencies. Delays cost ₱32.9 million in commitment fees from 2018 to 2023. MMDA cited valid extensions, but COA urged better planning and monitoring to address Metro Manila’s persistent flooding problems.
