Murdered NIA whistleblower Kyle Antatico laid to rest in quiet rites
The National Irrigation Administration (NIA) is cooperating with the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) in the investigation of the killing of former employee Niruh Kyle Antatico.
Antatico, a former senior research analyst for NIA Northern Mindanao, was shot and killed on October 10 after accusing the NIA of corruption on Facebook, specifically citing alleged irregularities in "Maging Projects" from 2020 to 2022.
He had also posted photos of an incomplete and substandard irrigation project in Maguing, Lanao del Sur, which the NIA claims are outdated and not a ghost project.
NIA Administrator Engr. Eduardo Guillen has denied the corruption allegations, stating that NIA projects are well-monitored and the project in question was handled by the previous administration.
Antatico's ashes were placed in an urn during a quiet inurnment ceremony in Cagayan de Oro on October 16, following an emotion-charged memorial service.
