60% of adult Filipinos outraged by corruption in infra projects - OCTA

A recent OCTA Research survey reveals that 60% of adult Filipinos are outraged by corruption in government infrastructure projects, particularly flood control initiatives.

The survey, conducted from September 25 to 30, 2025, among 1,200 respondents, found this anger to be consistent across all regions and socioeconomic classes, though most pronounced in Balance Luzon (64%) and the ABC class (70%).

Younger Filipinos, specifically Gen Z and millennials, expressed the strongest anger over corruption in government projects.

OCTA president Ranjit Rye stated that the findings show a "clear, uncompromising public mandate for justice, accountability and institutional reform" and that the public expects "serious, not performative" action.

Filipinos expressed more confidence in the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) to lead the investigation into the flood control scandal than in the House of Representatives and the Senate combined, with 46 percent believing the ICI is the most suitable body for the probe.
