DOJ reschedules flood control hearing due to typhoon

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has rescheduled the preliminary investigation hearing for five flood control projects in Bulacan to November 14 due to Super Typhoon Uwan.

The hearing was originally set for November 10, with several former and current Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) officials and a contractor expected to attend.

DOJ spokesperson Atty. Polo Martinez cited the suspension of government work due to the typhoon as the reason for the postponement.

Respondents will receive copies of the complaints during the rescheduled hearing on November 14.

The investigation occurs amidst public outrage over alleged ghost flood-control projects that may have defrauded taxpayers.
