INQToday: Ex-DPWH Bulacan engineer Henry Alcantara guilty of administrative cases
Former Bulacan First District engineer Henry Alcantara was found guilty of multiple administrative cases by Public Works Secretary Vince Dizon for his alleged involvement in "anomalous" infrastructure projects in Bulacan.
The specific charges against Alcantara include Disloyalty to the Republic of the Philippines and to the Filipino People, Grave Misconduct, Gross Neglect in the Performance of Duty, and Conduct Prejudicial to the Best Interest of the Service.
Secretary Dizon stated that this serves as a warning to DPWH officials involved in ghost and substandard projects, emphasizing that corrupt individuals in government will be held accountable.
Dizon also announced his intention to recommend the filing of criminal charges against Alcantara and others implicated to ensure justice for the alleged embezzlement of public funds.
Alcantara's dismissal from service was confirmed by Secretary Dizon just the day before the public announcement of his guilt.
