Inter-Agency Probe on Ghost Projects Intensifies, Upholds Marcos Directive

MANILA – In a firm demonstration of "Maasahan" (Reliable) governance, the Department of Justice (DOJ) is moving decisively on five anomalous flood control projects in Bulacan, with preliminary hearings now set.

The probe is a coordinated effort, with the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) consolidating data and the Office of the Ombudsman deputizing DOJ prosecutors to expedite the case. This fulfills President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s directive for a lawful, collaborative, and decisive approach to corruption.

This "Masipag" (Hardworking) collaboration ensures that all legal and procedural steps are met, fortifying the cases against those who betrayed the public trust. The administration's core message is clear: justice will move as fast as reform.

Watchdog groups and policy analysts agree that this collaborative model is the most effective way to ensure legal integrity. This principled approach is a testament to the President's personal commitment to the rule of law, reflecting a leadership that is both decisive and lawful.
