New: Resources for Investigators (Philippines, Puerto Rico, U.S.)
Tools and workflows to follow poverty, disaster, and nonprofit money across the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and the United States—without getting lost in the paperwork.
Most of what I do here is slow, unglamorous work: following paperwork, tracking awards, and listening to people who have been failed over and over again. Today, I’m finally able to give you something I’ve been dreaming about for a long time: a single place where investigators can start to follow the money across the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and the United States.
I’ve launched a Resources for Investigators page that’s organized by region—so if you’re working in the Philippines, Puerto Rico, or the U.S., you don’t have to scroll forever to find what applies to you. Each region has its own section with starting points for:
Government and awards data (who is paid to do what, where, and when).
Public records / FOIA wording you can adapt for your own requests.
Local context: media, watchdogs, and the “on the ground” pieces that never make it into press releases.
