Malacañang awaiting contractor's explanation on Bulacan flood control project

Malacañang confirmed that St. Timothy Construction Corporation has not yet responded to President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.'s request for an explanation regarding a flood control project in Calumpit, Bulacan.

Palace Press Officer Claire Castro stated that the contractor had not made any contact.

Department of Public Works and Highways Secretary Manny Bonoan relayed this information to the Palace.

President Marcos had previously called for an explanation from the contractor after conducting a site inspection of the Rehabilitation of the River Protection Structure in Barangay Bulusan.

Marcos found the work unfinished despite having been declared complete in February 2023.

The government will hold accountable anyone found to have been involved in anomalous flood-control projects under Marcos' administration.
