The Mayors for Good Governance (M4GG) introduced the "Report Infra" website and hotline on October 16. This platform allows the public to report ghost, substandard, or overpriced infrastructure projects. Citizens can call the hotline at (02) 8459-0143, operating Monday to Friday, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., or submit reports online, attaching photos or videos for evidence.

 

The initiative seeks to amplify public voices in exposing corruption and holding officials accountable. M4GG encourages Filipinos to engage actively in promoting transparency in public infrastructure. Users of the platform can report project details, including types of anomalies and location specifics.

 

Earlier, on October 2, M4GG requested House Speaker Faustino “Bojie” Dy III for access to the National Expenditure Program and General Appropriations Act from 2023 to 2025. This move is aimed at enhancing transparency and accountability in the allocation and use of public funds. By doing so, they hope to ensure that financial resources are used effectively for community-benefiting services.

 

Experts believe this initiative could significantly impact public infrastructure integrity, potentially leading to increased public trust in governance. Some officials view the transparency push as a necessary step towards curbing corruption. M4GG’s actions might encourage more citizen participation in governance issues.

 

Looking forward, the Report Infra initiative is set to support ongoing investigations into infrastructure anomalies. It aims to strengthen both local government and civic oversight of project implementations. Continued monitoring and public engagement are anticipated as the project evolves.
