Authorities attempt to arrest 3 Sunwest execs at Pasay City hotel
Authorities attempted to serve arrest warrants at a Pasay City hotel for three Sunwest Corporation executives allegedly linked to an anomalous P289.5-million flood control project in Oriental Mindoro.
The executives targeted were Consuelo Aldon, Noel Cao, and Anthony Ngo, who are among 16 individuals charged with graft and malversation.
Sunwest Corporation is a construction firm associated with former lawmaker Zaldy Co, who is also among the accused.
The charges stem from a "grossly" substandard road dike project in Oriental Mindoro.
Nine of the 16 accused, including public works officials and Sunwest members, have already been arrested and are facing charges before the Sandiganbayan.
Zaldy Co remains at large.
