A Philippine corruption probe reveals billions in fake infrastructure projects, sparking public demand for accountability.
A sweeping investigation into Philippine infrastructure corruption has uncovered widespread irregularities, with DPWH officials and contractors allegedly securing billions in public funds through substandard, ghost projects and non-competitive bidding.
DPWH Secretary Vince Dizon launched a probe targeting regional leaders over lavish spending and questionable contracts, while Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla revealed that two individuals, Sarah and Curlee Discaya, allegedly won over P31 billion in projects through unprecedented, nationwide schemes violating procurement laws.
The scandal, linked to inflated costs and political patronage, has fueled public outrage, with 65% of Filipinos demanding accountability.
Though a full-scale uprising is unlikely, the government aims for partial reforms—fines, blacklisting, resignations, and limited convictions—without destabilizing the political or economic system.
