Philippines' Flood Probe Collapses as Investigators Quit

A major investigation into corrupt flood control projects in the Philippines is in crisis after its investigators resigned. The presidential fact-finding panel now has only one member left: its chairperson. A second commissioner quit this week. This mass exit creates serious doubts about the investigation's future. The probe targets the misuse of billions of pesos. Officials spent this money on flood infrastructure that was badly built or never existed. The failed projects have sparked public anger. The investigation was meant to hold powerful people accountable. But with the panel collapsing, many now question if the government can effectively address the scandal.
