The National Bureau of Investigation has launched a formal inquiry into dozens of flood mitigation initiatives in Davao City. A subpoena was issued to the regional director of the Department of Public Works and Highways, requiring their presence and the submission of records for 51 specific projects. This move follows reports of potential irregularities, including claims of substandard construction and non-existent "ghost" projects. While initial assessments flagged nearly fifty developments in a single district, investigators are currently focusing on a list of 51 projects to determine if legal or technical standards were violated. The bureau's leadership clarified that while many projects were initially scrutinized, several have been identified as particularly problematic, prompting this deeper legal review.
