Ombudsman to form task force to probe flood control projects tied to Villars
Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla is forming a dedicated task force to investigate the Villar family's alleged involvement in flood control and river drive projects in Las Piñas and Bacoor, Cavite.
The task force will look into whether properties owned by the Villar family unfairly benefited from the multi-billion peso, 11-kilometer Zapote River Drive and related flood control projects.
Remulla stated the investigation aims to determine the costs of the projects and if the government or the Villars funded the improvements, specifically mentioning the construction of a river wall.
The Villar family has not yet responded to requests for comment.
