MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Wednesday urged governors to actively expose any irregularities in government projects amid the mounting controversies on flood control projects.
In his speech during the oath-taking of the newly elected officers of the League of Provinces of the Philippines (LPP) in Malacañang, the President said that public funds were meant for the welfare of the nation and not for personal gain.
"That is why I urge you: Serve the people with utmost honesty; ensure that national and provincial projects are in order; and expose any wrongdoing you discover," Marcos told governors.
"Now, more than ever, the Philippines needs your leadership to end long-standing wrong practices," he added.
Marcos made the call following his exposure of irregularities in the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) flood control projects, which prompted a thorough investigation into the matter., This news data comes from:http://vbwxwya.052298.com
