MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. directed the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) to conduct a "sweeping review" of the DPWH proposed budget under the 2026 National Expenditure Program (NEP), Malacañang said Wednesday.
In a press conference, Palace Press Officer Claire Castro said this would ensure necessary changes and the proper use of people’s money.
The President issued the directive following his exposure of irregularities in the DPWH flood control projects, which prompted a thorough investigation into the matter.
