Manila Bulletin
|November 20, 2025
Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla said that three former undersecretaries are being investigated by his office for alleged money laundering.
In a press conference on Wednesday afternoon, Nov 19, Remulla identified them as former undersecretary Adrian Bersamin of the Office of the Executive Secretary, former Department of Education undersecretary Trygve Olaivar, and former Department of Public Works and Highways undersecretary Roberto Bernardo.
"They were working together in laundering money; it's a major offense being committed," Remulla alleged.
Citing the narration of Bernardo during the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee hearing, Remulla said the money intended for DPWH projects is inside an armored van, which would be met by another armored van.
