A jaw-dropping admission from an assistant engineer of the Philippines’ Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has cast serious doubt on the integrity of the country’s infrastructure.

Testifying in a public hearing, the engineer — identified as Brice — was asked directly if their projects were substandard. His blunt response stunned lawmakers:

“Yes, your honor. All of these projects carry obligations that need to be concealed.”

Brice went further, claiming that since 2019, every DPWH project in his district — from flood control systems to national highways — has been below standard.

The remarks have sparked outrage among citizens and alarm among watchdog groups, as billions of pesos have been funneled annually into infrastructure projects under the government’s flagship “Build, Build, Build” agenda.

Analysts warn that if Brice’s claims hold true, the Philippines could be facing not only a corruption scandal of historic proportions but also a public safety crisis — with roads, bridges, and flood defenses potentially compromised nationwide.

Lawmakers are now demanding a sweeping investigation into DPWH operations, while the department itself has yet to issue an official response.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has officially released the public redacted version of its Document Containing the Charges (DCC) against former Philippine President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, outlining detailed allegations of crimes against humanity committed during his tenure as Mayor of Davao City and later as President of the Philippines.

The charges, filed by the Office of the Prosecutor, span from 1 November 2011 to 16 March 2019, a period during which Duterte allegedly orchestrated and oversaw a widespread and systematic campaign of murder, targeting individuals accused of drug use and other crimes. The ICC alleges that Duterte personally established, directed, and maintained control over the so-called Davao Death Squad (DDS) and, later, a nationwide network of law enforcement and hitmen, used to implement his violent anti-crime policy.

Duterte is charged under three counts:
Count 1: Murders carried out by the DDS in Davao City.
Count 2: Assassinations of “high-value” drug targets during his presidency.
Count 3: Killings and attempted killings in barangay-level drug operations across the country.

The document states that Duterte acted as an indirect co-perpetrator, ordered or induced the killings, and aided and abetted those responsible. Evidence includes Duterte’s public speeches, operational directives, and a covert reward system for law enforcement officers, which incentivized extrajudicial killings.

In an emotional and deeply moving moment, Erika Kirk, wife of conservative advocate Charlie Kirk, delivered a message of faith and forgiveness following the death of her husband.

“Charlie wanted to save young men, just like the one who took his life,” she said during a public statement. Drawing on her Christian faith, Kirk quoted the words of Jesus on the cross: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” She concluded with a message directed at the perpetrator: “That man, that young man, I forgive him.”

The comments have drawn national attention, highlighting a message of grace and redemption in the face of personal loss. Charlie Kirk, a prominent voice in American conservatism, was fatally attacked last week in an incident that remains under investigation.
