IBP forms committee on good governance to probe corruption

The group stressed that ghost and substandard flood protection projects were not isolated abuses but symptoms of systemic corruption that distorts priorities, corrodes trust, and mortgages the country’s future.

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 were 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.

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.

It announced the establishment of Anti-Corruption Desks in all its chapters through its 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,” the group said.
