Senator Questions 946 Infra Projects
SENATE Finance Committee Chair Senator Sherwin T. Gatchalian said about 946 projects worth P14.4 billion under the Public Works department were found to be potential red flags.
In a Senate budget hearing, Mr. Gatchalian questioned the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) whether it verified the projects had been duplicated in the 2026 budget.
“Did (the agency) find any projects that were doubled, based on your analysis? Anything that were doubled, or those that have been executed and reappeared in the 2026 budget,”
he asked in Filipino. Public Works Secretary Vivencio “Vince” B. Dizon said that the agency has verified that 798 of the projects, worth P11.6 billion, are continuing infrastructure projects.
“For the remaining 148, we do not know yet,” Mr. Dizon said.
