MANILA, Philippines—The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is in the process of revalidating 421 out of 8,000 flood control projects earlier declared as non-existent or "ghost" projects. Public Works Secretary Vince Dizon said on Monday that he ordered the revalidation following reports that former DPWH Secretary Manuel Bonoan deliberately provided President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. incorrect grid coordinates, which led to a bloated count of ghost flood control projects. “This resulted in grossly inaccurate data involving some 421 ghost projects among previously inspected flood control projects,” Sen. Panfilo Lacson, head of the Senate Blue Ribbon committee that is investigating anomalous flood control projects, earlier said. Dizon said that pending results of the revalidation process, he could not confirm whether or not Bonoan intentionally gave the wrong coordinates of the questionable projects "That is why we continue to revalidate the data submitted to us on thousands of flood control and other infrastructure projects," he said.
