MANILA, Philippines — The Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) announced on Friday that it would create a Committee on Good Governance to investigate flood-control scams and other forms of corruption in the government.
The IBP said the committee would provide impartial oversight and reinforce accountability at every level of government.

The group stressed that ghost projects and substandard flood protection projects were not isolated abuses but symptoms of systemic corruption that distort priorities, corrode trust, and mortgage the country’s future., This news data comes from:http://yoodjdbl.gangzhifhm.com
It warned that the real cost of plunder is borne by the vulnerable — children forced to study in unsafe classrooms, families left stranded by missing safeguards, and communities locked in poverty while resources are diverted elsewhere.

“Each act of plunder is not only illicit enrichment; it is a direct assault on dignity and a violation of the constitutional mandate that public office is a public trust,” the IBP said in a statement.

The IBP vowed solidarity with Filipinos in transforming the fight against corruption from fragmented reactions into comprehensive reform anchored on dignity, accountability, and the rule of law.
Anti-Corruption Desks would be established in all its chapters through the National Center for Legal Aid, which will act as frontline mechanisms for receiving evidence, addressing complaints, and facilitating remedies.
The IBP said these desks, together with the Committee on Good Governance, will complement its agreement with the Anti-Red Tape Authority to enhance public service delivery and curb bureaucratic abuse. “The IBP does not merely condemn corruption; it seeks to help rebuild trust by creating systems where accountability is no longer exceptional but expected."
