What happened
The National Bureau of Investigation flagged 51 flood control projects in Davao City for potential irregularities, including six projects considered strong candidates for being ghost projects. The investigation targets Genesis 88 Construction Inc., which secured approximately P7 billion in flood control contracts between 2018 and 2024. Subpoenas have been served to officials from the Department of Public Works and Highways regarding the P1.9 billion in projects awarded to the contractor.
