​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.

​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."
