Your article says: "The budget proposal for 2027 is 2.43% higher than COA’s P41.42 billion approved budget in 2026" and "The Commission on Audit (COA) is seeking a P16.05-billion budget for 2026, but the Department of Budget and Management has recommended cutting it to P14.77 billion". 16.05 or 14.77 billion in 2027 is definitively not 2.43% than the 41.42 billion in 2026. Thank you to correct the information

Thanks for sharing! We're actually going to roll out more details on each agency's budget soon. @Steph Dav The toplines are here but if you click each agency name in the viz, you should be able to go to each department's page. For some of the departments, we already have detailed budgets rolled out. =) https://www.rappler.com/philippines/n83379683-budget-watch/

For instance, this is Deped https://www.rappler.com/philippines/government/n11382034-deped/ and this is DPWH. https://www.rappler.com/philippines/government/n47851081-dpwh/ Let us know what you think? @Steph Dav

Flood Control Solution #2 and School Backlog Solution: Philippines Initiative Against Corruption (PIAC)

The PIAC empowers every citizen to become an active guardian of transparency by allowing public reporting of ghost projects, substandard works, or unfinished infrastructure in their locality.

How the PIAC system works?
1. Citizen can take a picture of photo or video evidence of anomalies in government-funded infrastructure projects. Then post it on facebook. This photo or video can be strong prima facie evidence of irregularities. Prima facie means "at first sight".

2. Use a standard Project Details format:
Name of Project: ______
Location of Project: ______
Cost of Project: ______
Date Started, Ended or Completed: ______
Project Proponents: ______ (Politicians, Contractors, or DPWH/LGU Engineers)
Project Status: Complete, Ghost, Incomplete, or Substandard
PIAC Post Status: Unverified or Incomplete (Unless otherwise verified or completed by independent Civil Society Organizations)

With a localized hashtag that enables civil society and experts to verify and complete the details provided initially by the citizen. #ProvinceCityPIAC, #ProvinceMunicipalityPIAC, or #NCRCityPIAC. PIAC is just an acronym. If other independent civil society organizations adopt the standard format and hashtag, it can be modified accordingly.

05:22 AM

Ideally, there should be a public database of civil society organizations in every city or province, so that citizens can easily tag them based on their locality.

3. Tag to encourage investigative journalists such as Jessica Soho to make videos explaining the anomalies further. Other reputable investigative journalists and aspiring investigative journalists who recently graduated can follow the same style of video reporting used by #KMJS.

4. Establish independent, city- or province-level Facebook groups maintained by civil society organizations (CSOs). These groups act as trusted moderators and safe channels for citizens who want to report anomalies anonymously.

5. Integrate PIAC citizen reports verified by Civil Society Organizations into COA audit trails and Ombudsman investigations, thereby linking grassroots vigilance with institutional action.

The PIAC emphasizes the principle that accountability is not complete without citizen participation.

It transforms passive observation into active oversight, reinforcing the constitutional truth that sovereignty resides in the people, and all government authority emanates from them (Article II, Section 1, 1987 Constitution).
