Malacañang says there is no cover-up in the ongoing investigation into alleged anomalous flood-control projects in Taguig City, responding to questions raised by Senator Panfilo Lacson. Lacson questioned the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) about a supposed Taguig project, citing concerns that the project coordinates appear to be located in the Visayas rather than in Taguig.
Multiple outlets report that Palace officials maintain the matter is already under review and call for a deeper probe rather than dismissing the concerns. The coverage emphasizes that Malacañang is assuring the public that the investigation is proceeding and that no concealment is involved. One outlet also describes the allegations in terms of “ghost projects,” while the other focuses on “anomalous” flood-control projects. Despite differences in phrasing, both accounts describe the same dispute: whether DPWH’s Taguig-related flood-control works, as alleged, show irregularities that warrant further scrutiny.
