Subject: Strong Condemnation of the Alleged Anomalous Flood Control Project
We, the Philippines Zello Network Group Incorporated, as a united organization of responsible Filipino citizens, strongly condemn the alleged anomalous flood control project under the current administration of the President of the Philippines.
As tax-paying Filipinos, it is our duty to express our strong opposition and deep concern over any misuse of public funds, especially on projects that are meant to save lives and livelihoods from the threat of flooding.
Flood control projects should be reliable safeguards for the people to protect communities and ensure public safety. Any form of corruption involving these projects is not just a betrayal of public trust, but a blatant disregard for the welfare of every Filipino, especially those most affected by floods.
We extend our deepest sympathy and solidarity to all affected communities who continue to suffer due to poor infrastructure systems and neglected project promises. Every peso lost to corruption is a peso stolen from the people.
We call on the appropriate authorities including the current administration, the Ombudsman, and Congress to conduct a comprehensive, honest, and impartial investigation. We also urge this administration to act with courage and accountability, and to hold all involved parties accountable, regardless of their position or connections.
As citizens and members of an active communication network, we stand for transparency, accountability, and good governance. We will continue to use our platform to inform, amplify the voices of the people, and fight for their rights.

Kami sa Philippines Zello Network Group Incorporated, bilang isang nagkakaisang samahan ng mga responsableng mamamayang Pilipino, ay mahigpit na kinokondena ang umano’y maanomalyang proyekto sa flood control sa ilalim ng administrasyon ng pangulo ng pilipinas, Bilang mga Pilipinong nagbabayad ng buwis, tungkulin naming ipahayag ang aming mariing pagtutol at matinding pagkabahala sa anumang maling paggamit ng pondo ng bayan, lalo na sa mga proyektong dapat ay nagliligtas ng buhay at kabuhayan laban sa sakuna ng pagbaha. Ang mga flood control project ay dapat na maasahan ng mamamayan upang protektahan ang mga komunidad, tiyakin ang kaligtasan ng publiko, ito ay hindi lamang pagkakanulo sa tiwala ng bayan, kundi isang tahasang pag-salaula sa kapakanan ng bawat Pilipino, lalo na sa mga pinakaapektado ng mga pagbaha. Ipinapaabot namin ang aming taos-pusong pakikiramay at pakikiisa sa lahat ng mga apektadong komunidad, na patuloy na naghihirap dahil sa maling sistema ng imprastruktura at napabayaang pangakong proyekto. Bawat pisong nawawala dahil sa katiwalian ay pisong ninakaw mula sa ating mamamayan, Nanawagan kami sa mga kinauukulan kabilang ang gobyernong ito, Ombudsman, at Kongreso na magsagawa ng isang komprehensibo, tapat, at walang kinikilingang imbestigasyon. Hinikayat din namin ang administrasyong ito na kumilos nang may tapang at pananagutan, at panagutin ang lahat ng sangkot, anuman ang kanilang posisyon o koneksyon. Bilang mga mamamayan at kasapi ng isang aktib**g komunikasyon network, kami ay naninindigan para sa transparency, accountability, at tapat na pamahalaan. Patuloy naming gagamitin ang aming plataporma upang magpabatid, magpalakas ng boses ng mamamayan, at ipaglaban ang kanilang karapatan.
