Presented by ABS-CBN News Documentaries and NXT, Lubog sa Katiwalian: An ABS-CBN News Special on Philippine Flood Control Projects (Submerged in Corruption) is a 2025 documentary by journalists Raphael Bosano, Katrina Domingo and Andrea Taguines, that looks into the current anomalies and controversies in the country’s flood control projects. The investigative feature takes us to different communities across the country that continue to struggle with perennial flooding — even during fair weather and with flood control projects supposedly in place. The journalists look into the numbers and talk to several “whistleblowers” to reveal how the system is rigged to favor several contractors from a project’s inception and how lawmakers gain from fraudulent practices. The feature also presents possible solutions on how to eliminate corrupt practices and what flood control projects look like when they are effective.

The documentary also features interviews with local government executives and good governance advocates like Pasig Mayor Vico Sotto, Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong and Iloilo City Mayor Raisa Treñas, as well as leading experts in flood control management, climate science and urban planning.
