Plunder, graft, and violation of Procurement Law complaints were filed before the Office of the Ombudsman against Tarlac 3rd District Representative Noel Rivera, his wife Vice Mayor Evelyn Rivera, and DPWH Tarlac 1st District Engineer Neil Farala.
The complaints were filed by Pyra Lucas, founder of the United Filipino Against Crime and Corruption (UPACC), over alleged collusion on government contracts worth P600 million.
UPACC alleges that Congressman Rivera personally signed approximately 30 government contracts awarded to his company, Tarlac 3G Construction & Development Corporation.
These contracts are not limited to flood control projects but also include the construction of infrastructure such as health centers.
Rivera has denied involvement in corruption, stating he has yet to receive an official copy of any complaint and is ready to explain his side.
