Henry Alcantara maintains innocence amid flood control probe
Dismissed Bulacan district engineer Henry Alcantara maintains his innocence and denies being the "kingpin" of ghost flood control projects, stating any wrongdoing occurred without his knowledge.
His legal team asserted that he will contest all accusations and expressed confidence that the truth will surface and clear his name.
Alcantara committed to continuing his cooperation with the ongoing investigations.
The Department of Public Works and Highways Secretary Vince Dizon dismissed Alcantara on September 4 for disloyalty to the republic, grave misconduct, gross neglect of duty, and conduct prejudicial to the best interest of the service.
Alcantara previously admitted during a House investigation to signing a completion certificate for a P55 million flood control project in Baliuag, Bulacan, which was later found to be nonexistent.
