Another DPWH exec in flood control mess missing — Albay police
A manhunt is underway for Gene Ryan Alaurin Altea, Director of the DPWH Bureau of Maintenance, after a warrant of arrest was served at his home in Albay for alleged corruption in flood control projects.
The warrant, issued by the Sandiganbayan on November 21, is for the complex crime of Malversation of Public Funds through Falsification of Public Documents, with no bail recommended.
Altea is one of 15 officials, including former Ako-Bicol party-list Rep. Elizaldy Co, implicated in anomalies concerning a P289.5-million road dike project in Naujan, Oriental Mindoro.
Police were unable to serve arrest warrants on Altea and five other co-accused who were not present at their residences.
His family stated they have no knowledge of his current whereabouts, though he is believed to be in Manila.
