Flood control project restitution: Alcantara returns P71M to government
Henry Alcantara, a former DPWH engineer in Bulacan, has turned over an additional P71 million to the Department of Justice as partial restitution for his involvement in a flood control scam.
This brings Alcantara's total restitution to P181 million, with an initial P110 million returned in November, against a total of P300 million unlawfully obtained.
Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon stated that P119 million remains to be returned based on Alcantara's commitment.
The Land Bank of the Philippines has validated the P110 million previously returned, which is now back in the national treasury.
Fadullon clarified that the restitution covers Alcantara's confessed earnings, with potential for further liability if additional illicit gains are discovered.
Alcantara's restitution is part of his application to the Witness Protection Program and aims to recover stolen government funds.
