TRACKER: Contractors and government officials jailed over flood control corruption

2025/12/30 12:57

Investigations into flood control corruption in the Philippines have uncovered a coordinated scheme involving public works officials and engineers, contractors, and politicians.

The Marcos government has pledged to hold accountable those responsible. Several individuals linked to the scheme are now behind bars, but critics say enforcement has stopped short of the “big fishes.”

So far, no elected official has been jailed, although multiple lawmakers have been named in complaints filed before the Office of the Ombudsman. Those implicated include the President’s cousin, former House speaker Martin Romualdez, and former House appropriations committee chair Zaldy Co, who is now a fugitive.

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has also been accused of involvement in the scheme, an allegation Malacañang has denied.

Below is a running list of individuals who have been jailed and face trial in connection with flood control corruption cases. This story will be updated as more arrests are made.

The post IP Hits $11.75, HYPE Climbs to $55, BlockDAG Surpasses Both with $407M Presale Surge! appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 18:00 Discover why BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet launch makes it the best crypto to buy today as Story (IP) price jumps to $11.75 and Hyperliquid hits new highs.

That’s where BlockDAG comes in. While other chains are stuck dealing with validator congestion or outages, BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet will be stress-testing its EVM-compatible smart chain with real miners before listing. For anyone looking for the best crypto coin to buy, the choice between waiting on fixes or joining live progress feels like an easy one. BlockDAG: Smart Chain Running Before Launch Ethereum continues to wrestle with gas congestion, and Solana is still known for network freezes, yet BlockDAG is already showing a different picture. Its upcoming Awakening Testnet, set to launch on September 25, isn’t just a demo; it’s a live rollout where the chain’s base protocols are being stress-tested with miners connected globally. EVM compatibility is active, account abstraction is built in, and tools like updated vesting contracts and Stratum integration are already functional. Instead of waiting for fixes like other networks, BlockDAG is proving its infrastructure in real time.
