Senator Jinggoy Estrada will file perjury charges against Brice Hernandez, a former DPWH assistant district engineer, on October 7.
Hernandez had previously accused Estrada of involvement in anomalous flood control projects amounting to P355 million in Bulacan.
Estrada vehemently denies the accusations, stating he does not know Hernandez and has never met him.
Hernandez is currently under provisional acceptance into the DOJ's Witness Protection Program, though not yet a state witness.
Hernandez's claims contradict statements made by Senator Rodante Marcoleta during a Senate blue ribbon committee hearing, where Marcoleta suggested Estrada was safe from allegations related to the projects.
