SYMS contractor says she brought P245M to DPWH office in a day
Syms Construction Trading admitted to delivering P1 billion in cash to the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) from 2022 to 2025.
General Manager Sally Santos stated that the money, delivered in boxes, was paid as 'royalty' for borrowing licenses from Wawao Builders.
The cash was allegedly given to DPWH contact Bryce Ericson Hernandez, assistant district engineer for Bulacan's 1st District.
Santos explained that the amount varied depending on the project, citing one instance where she delivered P245 million in noodle boxes.
She further mentioned that the largest daily cash delivery she made was P240 million.
Hernandez confirmed receiving the cash, stating it was sealed in his office and later collected by his superior, former Bulacan District Engineer Henry Alcantara.
