Isinalang na sa fact-finding investigation ang 209 reklamong may kaugnayan sa umano’y flood control scam, ayon kay Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla.
“In 2026, these efforts intensified with 209 complaints undergoing fact-finding investigation, with several cases advancing to formal proceedings, and finally, four cases filed before the courts.” sinabi ni Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla.
Sa ginanap na Southeast Asian Ombudsman Forum sa Pasay City ngayong Martes, Hunyo 16, ibinunyag ni Remulla sa pamamagitan ng isang video message ang mga reklamong kanilang sinisiyasat kaugnay ng umano’y flood control scam habang apat na kaso na rin ang naihain sa korte.
Dagdag pa ni Remulla, halos doble ito kumpara sa 124 reklamong kanilang inimbestigahan noong 2025.
“In 2025 alone, 124 complaints underwent fact-finding investigation, and 36 proceeded to preliminary investigation and or administrative adjudication,” saad ni Remulla.
“But beyond these numbers is a deeper responsibility to strengthen public trust and demonstrate that accountability institutions can respond with independence, fairness, professionalism, and resolve,” dagdag pa niya.
