However, our investigation found that was ever issued by the Muntinlupa City Engineering Office. The notices were fake. They were a weapon. The Whistleblower’s Testimony To understand the depth of the corruption, we spoke to a former city hall employee (who has since resigned). Let’s call him “Ramon.”

For over three decades, the housing complex has stood as a paradox. Located along the bustling National Road in Barangay Tunasan, this massive low-cost housing project was originally a beacon of hope—a Marcos-era initiative to give shelter to the urban poor. Today, it is a labyrinth of illegal vendors, precarious shanties, and deep-seated political intrigue.

If specific names or events from a current, unreleased viral video or police report are not part of the public record yet, this article treats the keyword as a concept ("The Fix") based on common patterns of local housing scandals in the Philippines. THE MUNTINLUPA BLISS SCANDAL: PART 1 – THE FIX THAT BROKE THE SYSTEM By: Investigative Desk

Ramon worked in the City Housing Department until early 2026. He claims he was present during a meeting in November 2025 where the “fix” was designed. “It wasn’t a secret. One of the [City Council] consultants laid it out on a whiteboard. He said, ‘We need to change the HOA. If we control Bliss, we control the road widening project. We get the right of way money, not the residents.’” Ramon alleges that a local construction company, which has won several bids for flood control projects in Tunasan, is the financial engine behind the scandal. By displacing long-term residents and declaring them "illegal settlers," the city can legally pay minimal compensation (or none) for the land, clearing the way for a mixed-use development. Why is this called a scandal if it worked? Because Part 1 of the fix is unraveling.
