MANILA — President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has issued a firm warning against those involved in alleged irregularities in flood control projects, saying their days of impunity are over as the government intensifies its crackdown on corruption.

In a press conference held earlier today, the President announced that authorities are now taking decisive steps to pursue individuals and groups linked to the anomalous projects. He said the administration is committed to ensuring accountability and protecting public funds meant for critical infrastructure.

Marcos emphasized that his administration will carry out a thorough and deliberate investigation rather than rushing to judgment. He noted that true justice comes from patience, proper process, and accuracy in handling cases to avoid errors or wrongful accusations.

He also made it clear that those found guilty will face swift legal consequences, underscoring that justice will not be delayed. The President’s statement serves as a stern reminder that corruption in government-funded projects will not be tolerated.

The issue of fraudulent flood control projects has drawn public concern due to reports of misused funds and unfinished works in various regions. Marcos said the government’s priority is to restore integrity in infrastructure spending and ensure that resources truly benefit communities vulnerable to flooding.

The administration’s latest move marks another step in its broader anti-corruption drive, signaling a strong message that accountability will be enforced and those who exploited public trust will be held responsible.
