BATANGAS 1st District Rep. Leandro Leviste has filed charges against the district engineer of the Department of Public Works and Highways who tried to bribe him. Leviste filed direct bribery, corruption of public officials, violation of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act, and violation of the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials against DPWH District Engineer Abelardo Calalo at the Office of Provincial Prosecutor in Batangas City on Tuesday.“This goes beyond a P3.
Over three years, the total kickbacks reserved for a congressman of a 1st District of Batangas could exceed one billion pesos,” Leviste said.He urged Calalo and other former and current DPWH employees or contractors to become state witnesses to hold accountable those who benefited from this system of corruption, as he believes others may bear greater responsibility than the district engineer himself.
