Explain diversion of flood control funds from ODA, Ungab tells Co, Quimbo
Davao City Congressman Isidro “Sid” Ungab is calling on former Committee on Appropriations chairpersons, Representatives Zaldy Co and Stella Quimbo, to explain why critical foreign-assisted flood control projects were diverted from the 2024 and 2025 national budgets.
Ungab made the revelations during the budget hearing of the Department of Public Works and Highways on September 5, where he presented evidence showing the significant budget cuts and eventual removal of major Overseas Development Assistance (ODA)-funded flood control projects.
