BONGBONG MARCOS: THE PHILIPPINES’ BIGGEST PROBLEM
The Marcos Jr. administration is now drowning in scandal. This time, over billions of pesos wasted on anomalous flood control projects.
To save face, Malacañang has launched the “Sumbong sa Pangulo” website, a platform where citizens can supposedly report irregularities and monitor flood control projects. At first glance, this seems like a step in the right direction. But let’s be real. This is damage control, not accountability.
LET US CHECK THE NUMBERS
Flood Control Budgets:
- ₱185 billion allocated in 2023
- ₱215.6 billion proposed for 2024
- Over ₱500 billion in projects since 2022, with ₱71.7 billion cut for 2026 amid public outrage
- Senate Blue Ribbon Report: ₱100 billion cornered by just 15 favored contractors; actual project value only 30–40% of funds released
Confidential & Intelligence Funds (CIFs):
- 2022: ₱9.34 billion, with ₱4.5 billion controlled by the Office of the President
- 2023: CIFs breached ₱10 billion for the first time; ₱4.56 billion went to the OP
- 2024: ₱12.38 billion
- 2025: ₱10.285 billion proposed
Billions in CIFs were at Marcos’ disposal—money meant for surveillance and intelligence, which could have easily flagged corruption in flood projects. But for three straight years, he did nothing.
In fact, his very Executive Order (EO1) is to abolish the Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission. The PACC was established by FPRRD in 2017 to probe allegations against presidential appointees— only to be removed by BBM.
From 2022 to 2025, BBM approved every General Appropriations Act (GAA) that funneled bloated budgets into flood control. As Commander-in-Chief and head of government, he had the authority, the chain of command, and the intelligence funds to stop these anomalies.
If corruption thrived, it’s because he allowed it.
In his 2024 SONA, Marcos claimed that 5,500 flood control projects were completed. But neither COA nor DPWH reports confirm this number. So where did it come from?
If he was misinformed, that’s incompetence. If he knowingly used false figures, that’s deliberate misinformation—FAKE NEWS from the President himself.
Either way, it’s a crisis of leadership.
This scandal reveals more than contractor corruption. It exposes a President who failed in every step of accountability.
Who approved flood control budgets from 2022–2025? BBM.
Who controlled billions in CIFs but failed to detect anomalies? BBM.
Who spread questionable figures in his SONA and did nothing for three years while corruption thrived under his watch? BBM.
And now, after public outrage, he hides behind “Sumbong sa Pangulo”—a shallow attempt to shift blame while pretending to listen.
Floodwaters continue to drown Filipino communities, but the bigger flood is corruption enabled by the highest office of the land.
Contractors may be corrupt. DPWH may be complicit. But ultimately, the buck stops with Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
Therefore, the Philippines’ biggest problem is not just the “congtractors.” The biggest problem is Bongbong Marcos himself.
