Corruption has been one of the most common problems not only in the Philippines but also in different countries all around the world. It leads to a poor economy, low-quality infrastructure projects, and even poverty.
Previously, President Rodrigo Duterte said that he will fight corruption, illegal drugs, traffic problems, and other issues in the government. As the president strictly implement his advocacy, there are still some corrupt government officials still continues their illegal activities.
The Facebook page “DDS Sta. Maria Bulacan” has posted videos and photos of an anomalous concrete road project. The video and photos were taken last May 05, 2017 showing the anomalous procedure on the road infrastructures.
In the video, it can be seen there is no project engineer/inspector from the government or contractor. There are no materials engineer or lab aide checking concrete samples and overseeing the process. The base was too soft and muddy, which was very inappropriate for the process.
