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.

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