Palace on public reporting about flood control projects: Huwag gawing laro

Malacañang on Tuesday called on the public not to report false information in the website, which was recently launched by the administration for information on flood control projects.

''Okay, wala po itong deadline, at hangga’t nandito po ang Pangulo bilang Pangulo ay mag-report po kayo at hindi po kinakailangang ilagay ang inyong pangalan. Huwag lamang po ninyong sanang gawing laro nag pagre-report. Siguraduhin lamang po ninyo na iyong ire-report ninyo ay may basehan para po hindi naman masayang ang oras ng gobyerno na para saliksikin pa po ang inyong ini-report, iyon pala ay niloko lamang po ninyo,'' Palace Press Officer Undersecretary Atty. Claire Castro said in a briefing.

(This has no deadline and until President Marcos sits as president, just continue reporting. You don't need to put your names. Just don't treat this as a game. Make sure that what your report has basis so that the time of the government in looking into your reports won't be wasted.)

''So, sana po maging ano po, iyong verified at mayroon po talaga kayong alam patungkol sa mga projects na maanomalya at hindi po kinakailangang ilagay ang inyong pangalan kung kayo po ay natatakot sa pagre-report na ito,'' she added.

(Just report verified information, you don't need to include your name when reporting.)

On Monday, President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. launched sumbongsapangulo.ph, a website designed to provide the public with access to information on flood control projects across the country.

This online platform will also allow them to report any irregularities on the said projects.

Marcos committed that he would personally read the public's reports as regards the flood control projects.

The President has said the whole audit process on flood control projects would not work unless the citizens are involved.  — BAP, GMA Integrated News
