The Office of the Ombudsman on Tuesday was urged to investigate allegedly anomalous flood control projects in Davao City’s first district worth over P4 billion, a move which the district representative said was done to “demonize” the Duterte family.
In his letter, Tinio said the P4.44 billion worth of projects, done from 2019 to 2022, was allegedly found to have red flags.
He said 65 contracts worth P3.5 billion allegedly lacked station numbers or defined lengths, “making verification impossible and enabling ghost projects.”
Ten contracts worth P713 million remained incomplete years past their expiry dates, including three which he alleged are “paradoxically” tagged “100% complete” yet still “on-going,” while one project is only 64% complete after five years.
