This is a running list of individuals who have been jailed and face trial in connection with flood control corruption cases

Investigations into flood control corruption in the Philippines have uncovered a coordinated scheme involving public works officials and engineers, contractors, and politicians.

The Marcos government has pledged to hold accountable those responsible. Several individuals linked to the scheme are now behind bars, but critics say enforcement has stopped short of the “big fishes.”

So far, no elected official has been jailed, although multiple lawmakers have been named in complaints filed before the Office of the Ombudsman. Those implicated include the President’s cousin, former House speaker Martin Romualdez, and former House appropriations committee chair Zaldy Co, who is now a fugitive.

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has also been accused of involvement in the scheme, an allegation Malacañang has denied.

Below is a running list of individuals who have been jailed and face trial in connection with flood control corruption cases. This story will be updated as more arrests are made.
