THE Department of Justice (DOJ) on Friday said they are already investigating the possible involvement of former Senator Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr. in the flood control anomalies in the country.
In a press briefing, Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon confirmed the probe in relation to Bulacan ghost flood control projects.
“There is one case which is ongoing which includes former Senator Bong Revilla. The other respondents, mostly, are the same DPWH officials, district engineers Henry Alcantara, Brice Hernandez, [and] Jaypee Mendoza,” Fadullon said.
He noted that Revilla was included in the complaint based on evidence submitted by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) for two of the five cases where resolutions are still being finalized.
Revilla was given five days to submit his counter-affidavit after he requested a motion for extension before the DOJ panel of prosecutors.
The DOJ is looking into the former senator’s alleged anomalies involving Wawao Builder and SYMS Construction and Trading.
The panel of prosecutors is set to issue a resolution on the case before Dec. 15.
