Bulacan district engineer dismissed from DPWH
Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Vince Dizon announced the dismissal of former Bulacan First District engineer Henry Alcantara.
Two other district engineers in the Bulacan office, Brice Ericson Hernandez and Jaypee Mendoza, will also face dismissal proceedings.
Secretary Dizon stated that the DPWH legal team would recommend filing appropriate criminal charges against the three individuals with the Office of the Ombudsman next week.
The dismissals stem from an apparent ghost flood control project in Angat River in Plaridel, Bulacan, which had been approved for payment.
