DoJ subpoenas contractors, officials linked to five flood control projects in Bulacan
Business World Philippines
|November 04, 2025
THE Department of Justice (DoJ) has served subpoenas to contractors and officials allegedly involved in five “ghost” flood control projects in Bulacan, marking the start of the preliminary investigation into the alleged anomalies.
DoJ Officer-in-Charge Frederick A. Vida confirmed on Monday that the subpoenas for the initial five cases were personally served after the Office of the Ombudsman deputized the DoJ to assist in the probe.
“Subpoenas have been personally served for the initial five cases, wherein the DoJ has been deputized by the Office of the Ombudsman. The process will start — the respondents and the charges have already been identified,” Mr. Vida told a press briefing at the 2025 Justice Summit in Pasay City.
He said more cases are expected to follow as the Ombudsman continues to pursue the officials and contractors linked to the nonexistent projects.
