The supposed multi-billion flood control corruption led thousands of Filipinos to the streets for the “Trillion Peso Marchs”. The action protest against corruption was held last September 21 and November 30.
Amid the flood control mess in the Philippines, Pres.
Bongbong Marcos vowed to bring the flood control issue to conclusion as he was the one who initiated it
. He also promised that more individuals who are guilty in the flood control corruption will be jailed before Christmas.
Marcos Jr. also warned all the individuals who will help those accused in the flood control corruption that they might face charges if they will help the accused. Arrest warrants have been released against some individuals including Zaldy Co.
However, amid the flood control allegations against Zaldy Co, the resigned chairman of the House Budget Appropriations Committee, he tagged Marcos Jr. and former House Speaker Martin Romualdez to the supposed budget insertion issue and “kickback” system.
“Malungkot ang Pasko natin dahin hindi natin gusto ang nangyayari sa ating bansa lalong-lalo na ‘yung mga eskandalo sa korupsyon at pang-aabuso sa posisyon at opisina ng gobyerno,”
Duterte said.
Vice Pres. Sara Duterte also called on the Filipinos to be strong. Based on the
post
, she also claimed that we should spend Christmas with hopeful hearts.
“Kailangan nating maging matatag. As Filipinos, we are known to be resilient kaya kailangan nating itawid itong Pasko na ito na merong pag-asa sa ating mga puso… Ipagdasal natin na mas maganda ang ating taong 2026
the Vice President said.
