MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Tuesday said it is investigating 20 individuals, including a district engineer and other officials and employees of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) in Cebu province, for alleged graft and malversation in connection with two flood control projects in Balamban town that are suspected of being tainted by irregularities.
At a press conference, DOJ spokesperson Polo Martinez said the National Bureau of Investigation district office in Cebu filed two separate complaints last week against Suzette Nwanaka, district engineer of Cebu’s Third District Engineering Office, and 19 others over their alleged involvement in the bidding and implementation of the projects.
The projects flagged by the NBI are located in Barangay Singsing, Balamban town, Martinez said.
