Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla revealed that Davao City was the focal point for flood control projects prior to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s administration. This statement indicates a significant concentration of resources allocated to flood mitigation efforts in Davao City during previous administrations. The revelation was made by Remulla during an inquiry, suggesting possible scrutiny of project implementation and funding. Details regarding the scope and number of these projects remain undisclosed at this time. This finding raises questions about the prioritization of infrastructure spending in different regions of the Philippines. Further investigation may be conducted to assess the effectiveness of these earlier projects and ensure transparency in government spending. The Ombudsman's statement underscores a historical focus on addressing flooding issues specifically within Davao City.
