Oriental Mindoro Gov. Dolor bares P17B budget insertions for flood control
Oriental Mindoro Governor Humerlito Dolor revealed that P17.8 billion in flood-control projects were inserted into the province's budget from 2022 to 2025.
A total of 135 flood-control projects were inserted across the four years, significantly increasing the budget from P12.7 billion to P30.2 billion.
Governor Dolor attributed the failure of these projects to inappropriate design, citing one instance where a flood control was designed like a 20-meter wide boulevard by the DPWH.
The province experienced failures in flood control projects due to designs not suited for flood mitigation.
Sunwest Inc. was identified as a contractor involved in some of the failed flood-control projects since 2023.
