Senator Panfilo "Ping" Lacson linked former DPWH secretary Manuel Bonoan to the "growing family business" of anomalous government flood projects.

Lacson stated that Candaba Mayor Rene Maglanque's family, who owns Globalcrete Builders, secured P2.195 billion in flood control projects in Bulacan between 2018 and 2024.

Mayor Maglanque was allegedly the former president of Globalcrete Builders and signed contracts in 2024, suggesting he should have divested from the company.

The senator highlighted that the Maglanque family also owns MBB Global Properties Corporation, which constructed the Wyndham Garden Hotel in Clark, Pampanga, for nearly P1 billion.

Lacson explained that MBB is an acronym for the surnames Maglanque, Bernardo, and Bonoan, connecting the former DPWH chief to the company.

The general information sheet of MBB Global Properties Corporation in 2024 lists Macy Monique Maglanque as President, Sunshine M. Bernardo as Corporate Secretary, and Fatima Gay B. (Bonoan) Dela Cruz as Treasurer, indicating Bonoan's daughter is the treasurer.
