Flood Control Scandal: The Silence Around Congressman Zaldy Co Must End
The Filipino people deserve answers. And they deserve them now.
In a press conference on Friday, Secretary Vince Dizon named three construction firms—Sunwest Inc., St. Timothy Construction Corp., and Elite General Contractor and Development Corp.—as among those facing charges for anomalous flood control projects. These firms have cornered billions in public contracts. But behind the corporate names are political figures whose silence speaks volumes.
Sunwest Inc. was founded by Congressman Elizaldy “Zaldy” Co, former Chair of the House Appropriations Committee. Though he claims to have divested in 2019, records show his family remains deeply tied to Sunwest and its affiliate firms
President Marcos himself included Sunwest in the list of top contractors flagged for corruption
Yet while contractors are being charged, Congressman Co remains untouched. Uninvited. Unaccountable.
He is currently in the United States for medical treatment, according to House spokesperson Princess Abante
But where is the official medical bulletin from U.S. doctors? Where is the transparency? If he is truly unwell, the public deserves a verified medical report—not vague statements and travel clearances.
This is not just a matter of health. It is a matter of justice.
As former Chair of the Appropriations Committee, Congressman Co oversaw the very budget deliberations where ₱13.8 billion in flood control insertions were made in 2025 alone
These insertions were flagged by Rep. Toby Tiangco and others as “parked” or “railroaded”—funds allocated to districts without request or consent
For 2025, Secretary Vince Dizon confirmed that ₱450 billion worth of local project insertions were made into the DPWH budget—many of them replacing national programs with questionable local allocations
This is staggering. And it demands swift action.
We therefore call for the following:
1. Immediate Summons of Congressman Zaldy Co to the House and Senate hearings. If he cannot attend in person, he must testify remotely or submit a verified medical certificate from U.S. physicians.
2. Release of the full medical bulletin and travel documents to confirm his condition and justify his absence.
3. Creation of a fast-track mechanism within the Independent Commission for Infrastructure to investigate all insertions made during Co’s tenure as Appropriations Chair.
4. Full disclosure of all contractors linked to Co and his family, including Sunwest, Hi-Tone, and affiliated firms.
5. Public release of the DPWH’s itemized insertions from 2022 to 2025, and the names of legislators who requested them.
The Filipino people are watching. The floodwaters have exposed more than broken infrastructure—they have revealed broken trust.
Let us not delay justice. Let us not protect power. Let us restore integrity, one truth at a time.

How to love like Christ—even when it's hard
1. Love when it’s inconvenient.
Jesus stopped, listened, and cared—no matter how busy He was. He was motivated by love. Real love is unconditional.
See: 1 Corinthians 16:14
2. Love even when it’s undeserved.
Jesus loved those who betrayed Him. He forgave the ones who hurt Him. His love wasn’t based on worthiness—it was based on who He is.
See: Romans 5:8
3. Love through action, not just words.
Love isn’t just saying, “I’m here for you.” It’s showing up. Helping. Encouraging. Serving.
See: 1 John 3:18
4. Love by choosing forgiveness.
Forgiveness isn’t excusing what happened—it’s setting your heart free. Jesus forgave us first, and He helps us do the same.
See: Colossians 3:13
Loving like Christ isn’t easy, but it’s always worth it.
Lean on Him, and He will give you the strength to love—even when it’s hard.
