DOJ preparing lookout order for ex-DPWH exec Roberto Bernardo
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has received a request to issue an Immigration Lookout Bulletin Order (ILBO) against former DPWH Undersecretary Roberto Bernardo.
DPWH Secretary Vince Dizon made the request after Bernardo was accused of soliciting money from the Discayas in exchange for government project bids related to flood control projects.
DOJ Spokesperson Mico Clavano stated that the ILBO papers are being prepared for the Secretary's signature and will be transmitted to the Bureau of Immigration.
Clavano clarified that an ILBO serves as a monitoring mechanism and does not legally prevent an individual from leaving the country, as only courts can restrict travel rights.
This is the third instance the DOJ will issue a lookout order against an individual allegedly implicated in anomalous flood control projects, with previous orders involving 43 DPWH officials and contractors.
