Harold Duterte called for a uniform, document-based investigation into flood-control projects nationwide, urging lawmakers to disclose project details. This call followed findings by the National Bureau of Investigation in Davao City, where 47 of 100 flood-control projects in the first district were flagged for alleged "red flags". The investigation by government agencies is also examining projects in Bulacan, Mindoro, Pampanga, and Cebu.
