BBM To Jail“Ghost Project” Kingpin!

MANILA — President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. has had enough — and he wants a notorious contractor locked up for raking in billions from brazen “ghost” flood control projects!

According to Palace insiders, Marcos erupted in anger after investigators traced the biggest haul of fake projects to a Metro Manila-based contractor long branded as “untouchable.”

The bombshell? This shady operator has been in the racket since the Arroyo years — fattening his pockets with anomalous contracts while ordinary Filipinos suffered from floods and crumbling infrastructure.

Now, Marcos has given his men a clear order: make an example out of this crook and show the nation that the Palace is serious about crushing corruption.

This so-called kingpin enjoys a lavish lifestyle, complete with a sprawling mansion and a garage filled with flashy luxury cars — all allegedly paid for with dirty money.

His sweetheart deals with the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) include flood control projects, slope protection works, rockfall netting, and even overpriced road reflectors called “cat’s eyes.”

But here’s the kicker: the contractor has faced graft charges before — and every single time, he managed to slip away, thanks to “well-oiled connections” in past administrations.

Worse, sources say he also runs an illegal gambling empire in his province, shielded by high-ranking officials. His influence reportedly grew even stronger after one of his long-time allies was rewarded with a senior post in the Marcos government.

Now the nation is watching closely:

Will this probe finally bring down a big fish? Or will yet another anti-corruption crusade go straight down the drain, just like the flood control projects it was meant to clean up?
