 Hi daily! Do flood control projects in your area help your community, or do they cause more harm than good? Rappler is taking a closer look at how these government-funded projects are affecting Filipinos on the ground. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. called out corrupt officials and contractors accused of pocketing public funds meant for flood-control infrastructure in his fourth State of the Nation Address (SONA). The message was strong — but a clear, long-term roadmap for flood control was missing. We don't have to wait for the weeks, months, or years this investigation will take. Many of us live with these flood control projects. We pass by the construction sites. We endure the floods that happen despite these projects. Be the eyes and ears in holding corrupt contractors and officials accountable by sharing these details in the FloodControlPH chat room on the Rappler app: - Location of the flood control project
- Your firsthand experience — be as detailed and specific as possible
- Relevant photos with date, time, exact location, and description
To join the FloodControlPH, download the Rappler app for FREE via Apple Store and Play Store and head to the chat room: The chat room is where you can report flood control projects you spotted in your community, and receive updates about our flood control reporting project. We also encourage you to stay in the chat room so we can tag you for follow-up questions! If enough people report, we would be able to give a comprehensive citizens' account of the flood control projects that could supplement or challenge whatever the government comes up with. This helps us keep the government accountable and on its toes. See you there! Courage on, MovePH https://community.rappler.com/  |
