Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho (KMJS) has clarified details of its report on the damaged river wall in Narvacan, Ilocos Sur, following claims from a vlogger that the program failed to mention the project's contract.

According to KMJS, its report clearly showed the title and description of the project based on information from the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) website.

The project is identified as “SIPAG Access Roads and/or Bridges from the National Road/s Leading to Major/Strategic Public Buildings/Facilities, Replacement of Bridge, Nanguneg West Bridge, Narvacan, Ilocos Sur,” with a budget of P112 million.

The report also featured an interview with Engr. Harold Molina, General Manager and President of SATRAP, the contractor for the project.

Molina explained that the project included flood control and revetment works in the area, with funding for these components coming from the project's overall contract budget.

KMJS emphasized that the river wall was therefore part of a publicly funded project and was not simply a private initiative or donation.

Molina also explained that the concrete portion had not completely dried when the area was hit by storms and the southwest monsoon on August 9, 2026. According to him, these weather conditions contributed to the damage to the slope protection.

SATRAP has meanwhile committed to carrying out the necessary repairs, noting that the project remains covered by its warranty.

Amid the issue, KMJS stood by its report, saying it was based on official documents, statements from the project's contractor, and accounts from residents directly affected by the incident.

The program also underscored the importance of giving affected residents a platform, particularly when the projects involved are funded by public money.
