DPWH cleanses officials over Bulacan flood project issues

DPWH is initiating an internal "cleansing" to address alleged ghost and substandard flood control projects in Bulacan, promising accountability for implicated officials. Secretary Manuel Bonoan stated that district engineers and personnel involved are under review, with cases and sanctions expected. An audit flagged questionable projects, leading to a district engineer being placed on floating status. The controversy involves a single contractor securing numerous projects, prompting scrutiny of procurement. President Marcos Jr. has expressed anger over the anomalies, and some senators have called for Bonoan's resignation.
