Sona 2026: Marcos says P800M flood control funds recovered

During his fifth State of the Nation Address, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. announced the recovery of over P800 million from ill-gotten assets tied to anomalous flood control projects, representing a fraction of the P20 billion initially misused. This disclosure highlights efforts to address corruption and mismanagement in government projects. While the recovery is a step forward, it underscores the larger issue of financial malfeasance in public works, suggesting a need for continued vigilance and reform to prevent future anomalies.
