[THIS IS A PRESS RELEASE]
Greenpeace Philippines today called out the obscene greed of government officials and contractors who have allegedly pocketed billions from anomalous flood control projects that are meant for climate adaptation. In a press conference over Zoom, Greenpeace calculated that, based on estimations revealed at Senate inquiries, as much as PHP 1.029 trillion of the government’s climate-tagged expenditures could have potentially been lost to corruption since 2023, including PHP 560 billion in 2025 alone.
