Malacañang urged Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong to submit any evidence of corruption in flood control projects directly to President Marcos, emphasizing that a reporting mechanism is already in place for investigations.
The Palace dismissed the need to appoint a lead investigator, as regional monitoring committees are handling the probe into questionable infrastructure.
Marcos has ordered the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) to hold underperforming contractors accountable and blacklist those responsible for delays and poor workmanship.
Meanwhile, Iloilo City officials defended ongoing flood mitigation projects against allegations of inefficiency and flooding caused by the works.
The government encouraged the public to report irregularities through the “Sumbong sa Pangulo” platform to ensure transparency and prompt action.
