Contractor in Senate CCTV visited Erwin Tulfo office
Mina Jose, owner of WJ Construction, confirmed visiting Senator Erwin Tulfo's office on August 19, 2025, for an ocular inspection of a contract for his veranda.
Jose stated she was referred by Tulfo's staff to provide a solution for the senator's frequently flooded terrace.
Senator Tulfo claimed he was unaware of WJ Construction's alleged involvement in scandals until his staff recommended the firm for his office's veranda repair.
Upon hearing Jose's name in connection with allegations by former DPWH engineer Brice Hernandez, Tulfo immediately requested the termination of all contracts with WJ Construction.
These contract terminations included the office refurbishment project, with memos issued on September 9 and September 11, 2025.
Following these events, Tulfo implemented an internal policy on September 18, 2025, regarding gate pass and visitor's pass requests to restrict visitors.
Tulfo expressed willingness to submit documents, including drawings and text messages, related to the refurbishment and Jose's visit.
