The human cost of the Philippines’ flood-control corruption scandal | 101 East Documentary

In the Philippines, a massive corruption scandal is triggering street protests and putting pressure on the government of Ferdinand Marcos Jr. The population’s increasing exposure to typhoons, floods and rising sea-levels has seen the government allocate $9.5bn of taxpayer funds to more than 9,800 flood-control projects in the last three years. But recent audits reveal widespread cases of structures being grossly incomplete or non-existent. Multiple government officials are accused of pocketing huge kickbacks, funding lavish lifestyles. 101 East investigates how the most vulnerable are being flooded by corruption in the Philippines.
