Ex-DPWH Usec. Bernardo has applied to be state witness, ICI confirms
Former Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Undersecretary Roberto Bernardo has applied to become a state witness in the investigation concerning anomalous flood control projects.
His application for the Witness Protection Program (WPP) has caused his hearing with the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) to be canceled for the fourth time.
Bernardo has submitted a second supplementary affidavit to the ICI, which identifies several new lawmakers involved in the flood control scam.
The ICI confirmed Bernardo's application on Monday, November 17, stating that the supplementary affidavit will be referred to the Office of the Ombudsman.
However, due to a confidentiality clause in R.A. 6981, Bernardo is now prohibited from disclosing any information related to his state witness application.
