费迪南德·马科斯总统在2026年的国情咨文中，释放了追究防洪工程丑闻责任的信号，并明确点名其堂弟为调查对象。
7月27日，马科斯宣布监察专员公署准备就涉嫌参与防洪工程腐败案，对前众议院议长马丁·罗穆亚尔德斯提起诉讼。他表示：“尽管这对我们来说很痛苦，但我们必须做正确的事。我不是我家人的总统，也不是我朋友的总统。我是这个国家的总统。”
监察专员公署于次日启动了初步调查，针对有关罗穆亚尔德斯非法获取560亿比索财富的指控展开审查。公署已要求罗穆亚尔德斯及其多名关联人员提交反驳宣誓书。
罗穆亚尔德斯回应称，这对他家族而言或许十分痛苦，但他尊重总统的表态。批评人士则称此举为选择性执法，指出在该丑闻中同样被提及的其他马科斯助手却得到了从轻处理。
X平台上的初步反应褒贬不一：部分用户认为马科斯在防洪工程丑闻中追究其堂弟责任的信号是积极的一步，而包括反对派在内的其他人则对后续调查持怀疑态度，称其为作秀，或因过去未兑现的承诺而认为其不可信。

Parang narining ko na yan last year, ang sabi ng Ombudsman nga sa December may maghihimas rehas. Ganunpaman, this is a good development, Mr. President. But…
Marcos files charges vs Romualdez habang si Imee tumatakas sa SONA - ginagawang palabas ang accountability sa loob ng pamilya, walang systemic reform. Nag-fracture ang dynasty in public, pero bakit ngayon lang? Walang transparency. Performative lang.https://t.co/JcObrfek0M
