ADMINISTRATIVE and criminal charges will be filed against Department of Public Works and Highways officials involved in ghost flood control projects in Bulacan province.Public Works Secretary Manuel Bonoan gave this assurance on Thursday even as President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ordered the creation of a legal team that would determine the involvement of DPWH officials, contractors and even members of Congress, who might be facing economic sabotage and other charges.
“We are fully documenting everything, and if results of the investigation prove the involvement of public works officials, we will file all the corresponding cases, regardless of the personalities involved in the anomaly,” he added.DPWH earlier provided Malacañang with a list of 15 top contractors that bagged most of the DPWH projects, but Bonoan said that he is looking beyond this list.
