Ridon: Baliuag ‘ghost’ flood project a Palace initiative
The P55-million "ghost project" in Baliuag, Bulacan, was identified as originating from the National Expenditure Program (NEP) and not from a congressional initiative.
House Infrastructure Committee co-chair Terry Ridon clarified that the P55-million reinforced concrete wall project was a proposal from the executive branch.
The project was included in the 2025 NEP and subsequently in the 2025 General Appropriations Act (GAA), which are drafted by the executive and approved by Congress.
Records indicate that the riverwall project, constructed by Syms Construction Trading, was allocated P60 million under the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) in both the 2025 NEP and the 2025 GAA.
