Dizon to Cayetano: No ghost projects in Taguig
MANILA, Philippines — Public Works Secretary Vince Dizon said on Friday there are no “ghost” projects in Taguig City, reinforcing the earlier claims of Senate Minority Leader Alan Peter Cayetano.
During the Senate finance subcommittee’s hearing on the proposed 2027 budget of the Department of Public Works and Highways, Cayetano asked Dizon about the status of his investigation into Taguig infrastructure projects.
“Are there any ghost projects in Taguig?” the senator asked Dizon who replied: “None, sir. Based on our investigation, there is none.”

Dizon added that their investigation of flood control projects nationwide is ongoing and the 107 projects in Taguig City have all reported “accomplishments.”
Sen. Panfilo Lacson earlier said that at least P3.713 billion in public funds may have been wasted on flood control and multipurpose projects in reclaimed portions of Laguna Lake in the city. Cayetano, however, denied his allegation. — Keith Clores
