House Deputy Speakers Paolo Ortega and Jay Khonghun have vowed a strict, no-nonsense investigation into flood control projects following allegations of corruption and mismanagement in the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH). The inquiry, led by a joint panel of three House committees, will scrutinize billions of pesos spent on flood control projects, some of which remain incomplete or defective despite being marked as finished. The leaders stressed the investigation is about justice and accountability, not politics, and vowed that those responsible will face consequences. They emphasized the need for legislative reforms, including improved procurement safeguards and transparency measures, to prevent future abuses. The probe aims to restore public trust and ensure that infrastructure funds genuinely benefit the people.
