Mayors for Good Governance launches website, hotline vs corruption
The Mayors for Good Governance (M4GG) on Thursday, Oct. 16, launched its “Report Infra” website and hotline that will serve as the portal for the public to report and file complaints about ghost, substandard, or overpriced infrastructure projects.
The public may call the hotline at (02) 8459-0143 to report suspicious infrastructure projects. The hotline operates Monday to Friday, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Reports can also be submitted at its website bit.ly/reportinfraph, where users may attach photos, videos, and other supporting documents.

“Kaisa niyo ang Mayors for Good Governance sa paghahanap ng hustisya at pagpapanagot sa mga korap. Sa pamamagitan ng inyong pakikiisa, mapapanagot natin ang mga nagkasala (The Mayors for Good Governance stand with you all in seeking justice and holding corrupt officials accountable),” the M4GG stated.
Report Infra is a crowdsourcing initiative of the M4GG, established to encourage every Filipino to participate in promoting good governance.
“Layunin ng REPORT INFRA na maihatid ang boses ng taumbayan sa mga kinauukulan at upang suportahan ang patuloy na imbestigasyon hinggil sa mga anomalya at korapsyon sa infrastructure projects (It aims to amplify the voice of the people to the proper authorities and support ongoing investigations into irregularities and corruption in infrastructure projects),” it said.
“Sa bawat ulat niyo, nagiging posible ang transparency at accountability, at masisiguro natin na mananagot ang mga nagkasala (With every report you submit, transparency and accountability become possible, ensuring that those responsible are held liable),” it added.
The website allows the public to provide details such as the project’s name, type of anomaly, and details of its location.
On Oct. 2, M4GG requested from House Speaker Faustino “Bojie” Dy III access to the National Expenditure Program (NEP) and General Appropriations Act (GAA) for 2023 to 2025.
It said that the request aims to promote transparency in the use of public funds, allowing both the local government units and citizens to monitor project implementation, strengthen accountability, and ensure that resources are truly spent on services that benefit the community.
