MANILA, Philippines – The Mayors for Good Governance (M4GG) launched a nationwide citizen-reporting initiative called Report Infra, offering a hotline and online portal for Filipinos to report corruption in government infrastructure projects. Concerned citizens may report ghost projects, substandard works, or overpriced contracts starting Thursday, October 16. Reports may be submitted by phone through (02) 8459-0143 from Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., or online via bit.ly/reportinfraph and mayorsforgoodgovernance.ph/reportinfraph. M4GG said the program provided a safe channel for citizens, government workers, contractors, and local stakeholders to share verified information or evidence of anomalous practices. Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto, one of the convenors, said the initiative aimed to empower Filipinos to take part in the fight against corruption. “We need whistleblowers who will expose the graft and corrupt practices that are being done in their areas,” Sotto said. “If we want genuine and lasting change to happen in our country, we all have to do our own share to hold these corrupt officials accountable.” Baguio City Mayor Benjie Magalong, also an M4GG convenor, said corruption remained a major challenge that required citizen participation. “The corruption happening in our government is a huge problem, so we need our fellow citizens to help in finding information and evidence about the irregularities committed in their localities,” Magalong said. Each report will be reviewed by a dedicated technical and legal team in coordination with M4GG and later forwarded to the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) for investigation.
