Paolo Duterte Questions Government Flood Control Investigations
Davao City 1st District Rep. Paolo Duterte has questioned why the government appears to show strong enthusiasm for flood control investigations only when his home city is involved. He emphasized that under his watch, there are no ghost projects related to flood control.
“Why is it that the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and other agencies only become active when it concerns Davao City?” Duterte asked during a recent statement. Local leaders noted that this selective focus raises concerns about fairness and consistency in government oversight.
Allegations of Ghost Projects Denied
Paolo Duterte firmly denied any existence of ghost projects in flood control efforts within his district. Community members have echoed his sentiment, pointing out that all projects under his administration have clear documentation and visible progress.
Officials reported that the flood control initiatives in Davao City are transparent and continuously monitored to ensure their success. This contrasts with the sudden investigations that only seem to emerge when Davao is involved, raising questions about the motives behind such actions.
Calls for Equal Government Attention Nationwide
Advocates and local leaders are urging the government to apply consistent scrutiny to flood control projects across all regions, not just those in Davao City. They argue that flood control is a nationwide concern, and all areas deserve equal attention to prevent disasters.
“Flood control investigations should be impartial and comprehensive,” community members said. They stressed that selective investigations undermine public trust in government processes and delay critical infrastructure development elsewhere.
Importance of Transparent Flood Control Measures
Flood control remains a vital issue for many Filipino communities prone to natural disasters. Transparent and effective measures help safeguard citizens and their properties from devastating floods.
Experts have highlighted the need for consistent government action and oversight to ensure flood control projects are properly implemented and maintained. This approach would build public confidence and promote safer communities nationwide.
Looking Ahead
Paolo Duterte’s call for fairness in flood control investigations has sparked wider discussions on government accountability. As flood risks grow due to climate change, the demand for transparent and equitable flood control initiatives will likely intensify.
Community members and officials alike hope for a more balanced approach, where flood control investigations are conducted with equal vigor regardless of location.
