Ex-DPWH exec links Nancy Binay to 15% infra projects kickback
Makati City Mayor Nancy Binay has denied allegations linking her to supposed irregularities in Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) infrastructure projects, calling the accusations "baseless and politically motivated."
The accusations stem from former DPWH Undersecretary Roberto Bernardo, who claimed a former Senate staff member of Binay contacted him regarding a 15 percent "commitment" from DPWH projects.
Bernardo alleged that this commitment, amounting to approximately P37 million, was handed over to him by former Bulacan district engineer Henry Alcantara.
He further claimed that he then delivered the money to Senator Binay at a house in Quezon City.
Binay expressed shock and sadness over the accusations, stating they are untrue and aimed at diverting attention from those truly accountable.
She emphasized that her public service record has always been transparent and beyond reproach.
