Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Vince Dizon on Monday said they submitted more names of high-profile individuals to the Office of the Ombudsman in connection with alleged anomalous flood control projects in Bulacan and Davao Occidental.

Dizon disclosed this, saying the Ombudsman is set to make an announcement on the matter this week.

“We submitted new manifestations two weeks ago.

We have two new manifestations to the Ombudsman,” said Dizon.

“I don’t want to preempt since our agreement with Ombudsman, they will be the one to announce. But we have some additions. There are high-profile individuals. I think in Bulacan and Davao Occidental cases,” said Dizon.

Aside from this, Dizon said the DPWH is also planning to submit another manifestation to the Ombudsman this week in connection with the case in Cebu.

He said the DPWH continues to coordinate with the Ombudsman in connection with its investigation into anomalous flood control projects.

Also, Dizon disclosed that they have continuous coordination with the Ombudsman, Department of Justice, and Independent Commission on Infrastructure (ICI).
