This is the consequence of the flood gate in Paco, Manila that remains unrepaired. The DPWH stated that it would be fixed within two weeks (which ended yesterday), yet this is still what we experience every night. No updates.

The Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) and Department of Public Works and Highways have recommended the filing of a new set of criminal and administrative complaints against several “congtractors” or lawmakers linked to government contractors. Read our article about it here: https://www.rappler.com/philippines/ici-dpwh-recommend-filing-charges-vs-house-representative-lawmakers-november-2025/

Rappler’s investigative series has documented the ties of some of these politicians to government contractors. Read those here: https://www.rappler.com/newsbreak/iq/list-exclusive-stories-congress-contractors-conflict-interest-corruption-flood-control-infrastructure-dpwh
