Sumbong sa Pangulo: The People’s Direct Line to Malacañang

Sumbong sa Pangulo is an official online platform launched on August 11, 2025, by President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.

Its main goal is to allow ordinary Filipinos to directly report issues related to public infrastructure, particularly flood control projects. Through this site, complaints can bypass local offices and reach national leadership—where action can be taken faster.

The site is part of the government’s wider effort to fight inefficiency and corruption using transparency and public participation.

Why This Matters to Every Filipino

Over 9,800 flood control projects are now viewable online, worth a combined ₱545 billion. This level of access to public information was rare in the past.

In its first month alone, the platform logged over 12,000 complaints—not just about flooding but also about:

  • Unfinished or poorly built roads
  • Drainage systems that don’t work
  • Suspected corruption or negligence

The data is now being used by local officials, engineers, watchdogs, and citizens alike to demand accountability.

What Filipinos Think About Sumbong sa Pangulo

In communities where trust in government was low, this platform brought hope.

  • In Iloilo, concerned citizens used the site to challenge incomplete multi-billion peso flood control projects. Their reports led to government probes and demands for full documentation.
  • In Oriental Mindoro, reports about ineffective river protection led to project reassessments and some being corrected or restarted.
  • Urban barangays in Metro Manila now see this as a way to check if flood-control money is spent properly in their areas.

On social media, Filipinos describe the site as “a breath of fresh air”, “finally something useful from the government,” and “a digital palengke for public complaints.”

Many hope this format can be expanded to include health, education, or local government services.
