Dizon seeks major cuts, overhaul of DPWH flood control budget for 2026
Public Works Secretary Vince Dizon recommended a significant reduction in the P268.3 billion flood control budget for 2026.
Dizon stated that this allocation represents nearly 30% of the Department of Public Works and Highways' (DPWH) proposed P880 billion budget.
He called for a major overhaul of the flood control budget, citing duplicate items and questionable projects.
Projects that have already been completed, are duplicated, or deemed inappropriate will be immediately removed.
Dizon emphasized the need for reduction without compromising essential projects in areas that genuinely need them.
