ADVERTISEMENTIn the Laging Handa online press briefing, Belgica said that naming the names of those involved would only “compromise” the anti-corruption body’s investigation. The DPWH Task Force against graft and corruption will probe “anomalies in the agency based on valid complaints,” Villar said in a Department Order dated Oct. 17. Malacañang, meanwhile, said that Duterte may create a new task force to probe the anomalies inside DPWH. This is aside from the task force already created by Villar. Sen. Panfilo “Ping” Lacson earlier exposed lump sum appropriations lodged under the DPWH amounting to over P396 billion under the proposed 2021 national budget.
