By Setting the wheels in motion on the President’s commitment to go after unscrupulous contractors, the Commission on Audit (COA) has ordered an immediate fraud audit of all flood-control projects implemented in Bulacan province, which received the biggest share of funding in Central Luzon from 2022 to 2025.
In a memorandum dated Aug. 12, COA Chair Gamaliel Cordoba cited findings from the “Sumbong sa Pangulo” website which showed that the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) implemented P548 billion worth of flood control projects nationwide from the start of the Marcos administration on July 1, 2022, until May 30 this year.
