Baguio mayor offers to aid Marcos' anti-corruption probe

Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong expressed willingness to assist President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s investigation into alleged corruption in flood control and other infrastructure projects.

Magalong, who spoke at the Management Association of the Philippines (MAP) general membership meeting on Wednesday, noted conversations with contractors revealed significant levels of corruption.

Palace Press Officer Claire Castro stated that systems are already in place for the probe, including Regional Project Monitoring Committees and the 'Sumbong sa Pangulo' website, suggesting Magalong present his findings directly to the President.

Magalong's report could include names of lawmakers involved in corrupt activities, with the government ready to file cases against those named if warranted.

The mayor emphasized that corruption in infrastructure projects is highly organized and syndicated, calling for legal action against contractors and politicians alike.
