PCAB

The Philippine Contractors Accreditation Board (PCAB) is an agency responsible for licensing and regulating construction contractors in the Philippines, but it has faced significant scrutiny over conflicts of interest and corruption, particularly in connection with the flood control project scandal. Recent reforms aim to address these issues by prohibiting PCAB members from owning construction firms and strengthening oversight of the licensing process. The board has been involved in revoking licenses of companies linked to major corruption cases, impacting thousands of construction workers and prompting calls for greater transparency and accountability.
