The ₱107 Billion Flood Control Gamble

The Philippine government is proposing ₱107.4 billion for flood-control projects in the 2027 national budget—but after the controversies surrounding flood-control spending, the big question is: Is this a necessary investment or a risky gamble? President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. previously halted new locally funded flood-control projects for the 2026 budget amid concerns over alleged irregularities and the need to review existing projects. Now, flood-control funding is back. In this video, we examine what changed, why the ₱107 billion allocation matters, and whether the government can ensure that every peso is properly spent. The ₱107.4 billion figure is part of the proposed 2027 budget and is still subject to congressional deliberation.
