This is the answer of Slater Young to this question.
Content creator and entrepreneur Slater Young has a straight answer to this question amid the issues involving DPWH and several contractors.

The top 15 contractors that hold most of these flood control projects are:
- Legacy Construction Corporation
- Alpha & Omega General Contractor & Development Corp.
- St. Timothy Construction Corporation
- QM Builders
- EGB Construction Corporation
- Topnotch Catalyst Builders Inc.
- Centerways Construction and Development Inc.
- Sunwest, Inc.
- Hi-Tone Construction & Development Corp.
- Triple 8 Construction & Supply, Inc.
- Royal Crown Monarch Construction & Supplies Corp.
- Wawao Builders

One famous personality that came to mind for some critics is Slater Young. He is popular in the field of construction. To recall, first gained national recognition in 2012 when he won the reality show “Pinoy Big Brother: Unlimited.” But unlike the other Big Winners, he did not pursue a career in the show business. He, instead, pursued engineering and entrepreneurship altogether, making him successful in both fields.
He is a co-founder of LiteBlock, a company committed to providing innovative and sustainable construction solutions. With this kind of connection, considering the hot topic on social media, which is about the ghost flood control projects, one netizen dared ask him about doing government projects.
Has he done it?
In response, Young firmly denied the claim, clarifying that he has never been involved in any government projects. He noted that despite being in the construction industry for 20 years, he still doesn’t own a Rolls-Royce, a luxury car brand owned by one of the accused. Instead, he pointed out with humor that his umbrella—unlike the exclusive one tucked inside a Rolls-Royce’s compartment—is merely a free giveaway from a bank.
