Flood Control Corruption — Interactive Glitch Series

An interactive political artwork about stolen infrastructure, borrowed futures, and disasters that reveal what bureaucracy hides.

This is the story of the "Flood Control Corruption"—a vicious cycle where HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of pesos, earmarked to build defenses against typhoons and massive floods, are systematically siphoned off. This fortune is funneled into "ghost projects" that never break ground and substandard structures that crumble with the first rush of water.

This is not just stolen wealth; it is stolen debt. These billions are borrowed from international lenders like the World Bank, shackling future generations of Filipinos. We are forced to pay with our taxes for money we never saw, for protection we never received. The perpetrators operate with impunity, hidden behind layers of bureaucracy.

Their crime is only exposed by the inevitable disaster—the catastrophic floods that take the lives, homes, and futures the money was meant to protect. Imagine the nation that could have been built with that stolen future.

Instead of disappearing into the pockets of the corrupt, those hundreds of billions could have empowered millions of families. It is a theft not just of money, but of potential, leaving citizens to pay the ultimate price in currency, safety, land, and freedom.
