MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Wednesday urged governors to actively expose any irregularities in government projects amid the mounting controversies on flood control projects.
In his speech during the oath-taking of the newly elected officers of the League of Provinces of the Philippines (LPP) in Malacañang, the President said that public funds were meant for the welfare of the nation and not for personal gain.

Marcos made the call following his exposure of irregularities in the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) flood control projects, which prompted a thorough investigation into the matter.
The President expressed outrage upon seeing some "ghost" flood mitigation projects, warning that the private contractors involved would be blacklisted and could face charges of economic sabotage.
