Between 2022 and 2025, a series of flood control initiatives spearheaded by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) were implemented across Samar Province, intended to shield vulnerable communities and livelihoods from recurring flood threats. However, by mid-2025, the national government faced intense scrutiny following allegations of budgetary irregularities, substandard construction, and the presence of "ghost" flood control projects. These concerns triggered a series of investigations by the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee regarding potential conflicts of interest and the misuse of public funds.

In response, the Samar Provincial Project Monitoring Committee (PPMC) has taken a leading role in conducting an objective, ground-level assessment of the 64 flood control projects implemented in the two Districts of Samar. This rigorous audit was designed to ensure that every infrastructure initiative is implemented in strict accordance with its intended design, engineering standards, and original purpose.

The field inspection and monitoring confirmed that all listed projects were physically existing and that the majority are effectively serving their intended purpose of protecting communities from flooding. Residents expressed increased confidence in the structures, citing a significant reduction in flood-related risks during heavy rainfall and typhoons.

The PPMC extends its appreciation to the DPWH 1st and 2nd District Engineering Offices, project engineers, local government units, barangay officials, and community stakeholders for their cooperation and active participation throughout the monitoring and evaluation process.

The findings and recommendations generated from this activity will serve as a basis for policy recommendations, inter-agency coordination, and continuous improvements to ensure that flood control infrastructure remains effective, sustainable, and responsive to the needs of the people of Samar.
