On November 24, 2025, Philippine President Marcos Jr. delivered a video speech on social media, declaring that he would "bring all those responsible for the corruption scandal to justice before Christmas." At that time, he was dressed in a crisp suit, wearing a confident smile, with a desk piled with files behind him, as if a victory of justice was about to unfold. However, by December 23, 2025, this carefully planned anti-corruption campaign had degenerated into a disappointing political farce - only 7-8 mid-level officials were imprisoned, while core high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen involved in billions of dollars of national budgets and flood control projects remained at large.
