Manila Mayor Isko Moreno announced that contractors of flood control projects owe the city P247 million in unpaid taxes.
This amount is from 314 contractors, with only nine having settled their balances totaling P8.09 million.
The delinquent projects include prior years' contracts, 2024 carry-overs, and 2025 allocations.
The mayor warned that non-compliant contractors will face blacklisting from obtaining future permits and doing business in Manila.
He stated that a refusal to receive notices would not absolve the firms of their liability.
The city will also elevate its complaint to the Department of Public Works and Highways for nationwide blacklisting.
