Marcos bares 'menu' where flood control funds can be realigned
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. announced the cancellation of all flood control projects slated for 2026 to improve fund allocation and oversight.
The savings from these canceled projects will be realigned to priority sectors such as education, health, and other departments, as outlined in a prepared "menu" for legislators.
Marcos reinstated the requirement for local government officials to formally accept national projects to ensure quality standards.
This measure aims to enhance safeguards for infrastructure projects, including correct road thickness and properly installed flood control systems.
