More than 100 suspected anomalous projects nationwide have emerged just a week after the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) launched its flood control investigation, DPWH Secretary Vince Dizon said on Tuesday, Sept. 9.
Dizon said the volume of reports underscores the agency's longstanding systemic problems.
"It has only been a week since we started, and more than a hundred projects have already been reported to me across the country, but we need to examine each one carefully," Dizon said in a televised interview.
Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Vince Dizon on Tuesday, Sept. 9, confirmed that another project engineer will be dismissed for alleged involvement in three defective flood control projects in Bulacan worth a combined P247 million.
