TRACKER: Contractors and government officials jailed over flood control corruption
Investigations into flood control corruption in the Philippines have uncovered a coordinated scheme involving public works officials and engineers, contractors, and politicians.
The Marcos government has pledged to hold accountable those responsible. Several individuals linked to the scheme are now behind bars, but critics say enforcement has stopped short of the “big fishes.”
So far, no elected official has been jailed, although multiple lawmakers have been named in complaints filed before the Office of the Ombudsman. Those implicated include the President’s cousin, former House speaker Martin Romualdez, and former House appropriations committee chair Zaldy Co, who is now a fugitive.
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has also been accused of involvement in the scheme, an allegation Malacañang has denied.
Below is a running list of individuals who have been jailed and face trial in connection with flood control corruption cases. This story will be updated as more arrests are made.

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market.
