MANILA (Reuters) -People allegedly involved in a Philippine corruption scandal linked to government infrastructure projects, including in flood-control facilities that failed during a heavy typhoon season, will be jailed by the end of the year, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr vowed on Thursday.
The scandal has outraged a graft-weary public, who have taken to the streets in protest. It has also hammered confidence, and was seen as a key reason behind economic growth hitting a four-year low in the September quarter.
