The Philippines is facing widespread public outrage as nepo babies, the children of politicians and contractors, flaunt luxury lifestyles while the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has come under scrutiny for flood control projects plagued by corruption, ghost projects, and substandard work.
