Sacked DPWH engineer leaves House custody
Jaypee Mendoza, a dismissed Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) engineer from Bulacan, has voluntarily left the protective custody of the House of Representatives.
Mendoza had previously sought security after receiving a death threat, reportedly from a "hitman."
He is one of four contractors facing a graft complaint filed by the DPWH with the Office of the Ombudsman concerning alleged anomalous flood control projects in Bulacan.
The House Infrastructure Committee hopes Mendoza will continue to participate in future hearings to share more information.
Mendoza, along with Brice Hernandez and Henry Alcantara, has been dismissed from the DPWH.
