Taguig Infra Projects Allegedly Used Same Photo for Billing

Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson revealed that two different infrastructure projects in Taguig City allegedly used the same photograph for billing purposes. The senator continues to investigate alleged ghost projects in Taguig. In a social media post, Lacson stated, “Two different projects, two distinct appropriations, two different technical descriptions and locations, two different contractors, but sharing the same photo for billing purposes. Status: both billed and collected.” It is noted that some government-funded infrastructure projects found to be “ghost projects” have also used photos of other existing projects as “proof of completion.” Lacson also disclosed that a single slope protection project in Taguig had two budget appropriations. “One slope protection project, one location, one technical description, two separate budget appropriations. Status: both billed and collected,” he said. Multiple appropriations for the same project were also previously flagged at the height of the flood control scandal investigations. Lacson questioned, “Are these not criminal acts?” This is the latest in a series of posts Lacson has made regarding his findings on the alleged ghost projects in Taguig. Previously, Lacson pointed out that Senator Alan Peter Cayetano had nearly seven billion pesos in budget insertions for the 2025 General Appropriations Act supposedly to fund 70 infrastructure projects in his bailiwick. Cayetano has repeatedly denied that there are ghost projects in Taguig, noting that flooding rarely occurs in the city.
