Dizon said the Commission on Audit (COA) Fraud Audit team flagged Project Engineer Paul Jayson Duya, former 1st District Engineer Henry Alcantara, Assistant District Engineer Brice Ericson Hernandez, Construction Section chief Jaypee Mendoza, and Mark Allan Arevalo of Wawao Builders for irregularities uncovered in the province.

In Barangay Frances, Calumpit, COA reported that only 77.90 meters of the planned 124-meter dike were built for a ₱77-million project.
