Kick Back Scandal in Ghost Projects.

A major political scandal unfolded as the National Bureau of Investigation began preliminary hearings into former Philippine Marines and a former congressman. The group is accused of orchestrating a massive kickback scheme involving hundreds of millions of pesos in diverted government funds. The investigation has sent ripples through the political establishment, as it coincides with a record budget deficit linked to ghost projects and failed procurement deals. The NBI is currently verifying reports that some of the accused individuals attempted to intimidate witnesses, leading to increased security around the Department of Justice in Manila.
