By MANILA, Philippines — A total of 60 flood-control projects are currently under scrutiny, as they seem to fit into the category of “ghost projects,” Chair of Senate Blue Ribbon Committee Rodante Marcoleta said.
During a recent hearing, Marcoleta said that the numbers he cited were based on the data provided by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., which they verified through previous hearings.
Marcoleta added that there are “several” other contractors, which he did not name, that received one flood-control project each that would complete the 60 possible ghost projects.
