Have we had the chance to investigate the Anglees Construction firm Northern Builders of Tarlac? They are the number 1 contractor from PNOY’s time up until Duterte’s administration. They are also allied with BBM. These individuals are politicians who are contractors as well, @Dwight de Leon - Rappler. Can we look into this?

Hello @Max ! Last September, our reporter Lian Buan published an article on two Tarlac representatives linked to construction companies, including Northern Builders. You can read it here: https://www.rappler.com/newsbreak/in-depth/tarlac-representatives-angeles-rivera-billions-dpwh-contracts/

We also regularly update our Policontractors map, which tracks public officials with financial interests in companies that win government contracts. Check it out here: https://rplr.co/PolitiContractors

If you have specific concerns you’d like us to look into, you can submit a report either through this chat room or via this form: https://rplr.co/InvestigateThis. Thank you for staying engaged on this issue!

After months of waiting, the first flood control corruption-related case is now filed with the anti-graft court Sandiganbayan on Tuesday, November 18.

Everything that ails the Philippines starts and ends with its government officials.

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.
