Artikulo 11 | Marcos Government Over Corruption, Disaster Neglect, and Poverty Crisis

In a powerful statement, Artikulo 11 condemned the Marcos administration for widespread corruption, incompetence, and lack of accountability amid recurring disasters and deepening poverty. During their press conference, representatives from the Workers Challenge, Teachers’ Dignity Coalition, and urban poor groups exposed how misuse of public funds and failed governance have worsened the impact of typhoons, housing shortages, and the education crisis.

The coalition called for a People’s Tribunal to investigate corruption in flood control projects, classroom shortages, and budget misuse, criticizing the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) as a political tool lacking real accountability.
