DPWH

The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is currently working on several infrastructure projects, including flood control initiatives in Quezon City, while also facing multiple corruption and mismanagement cases involving ghost projects and financial losses. Investigations have revealed significant inefficiencies, with the Commission on Audit reporting over P6.45 billion in losses from defective projects and the Ombudsman charging officials and contractors for graft and malversation. These issues have prompted calls for stricter oversight and accountability in the DPWH's operations.
