KORAPSYON SA DPWH : MGA SENADOR GIN REKOMENDAR NGA KASOHAN.
ll Chito Mabaquiao Berjit Jr. Ii

Ang Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) pormal nga nagrekomendar sang kriminal nga mga kaso batok kay Senator Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr., Francis “Chiz” Escudero, kag anay Senator Nancy Binay, lakip sa iban pa, para sa ila gina alegar nga pagkahilabot sa isa ka multi-bilyon nga peso nga kickback scheme nga naangot sa mga proyekto sa pagkontrol sang baha, suno sa isa ka makapakibot nga report nga ginpagwa sang Miyerkules.

Ang 120 ka pahina nga mga natuklasan sang ICI nag-alegar nga si Revilla, Escudero, Binay, kag tatlo pa ka iban nga mga senador—Jinggoy Estrada, Joel Villanueva, kag Grace Poe—nakigkunsabo sa mga kontraktor kag mga opisyales halin sa Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) agud ipaguwa ang sobra sa ₱2.5 bilyones nga pondo sang publiko pakadto sa ghost ukon substandard nga mga proyekto sa pagpahalipay.

Ang komisyon nagkutlo sang nagapakamalaut nga testimonya halin kay anay DPWH Undersecretary Roberto Bernardo, nga nagpahayag nga ang mga tiglawas nagbaton tubtob sa 60% nga kickbacks halin sa mga budget sang proyekto. “Ang mga paghatod sang kwarta ginakoordinar paagi sa mga kabulig, masami sa tion sang mga sesyon sang Senado,” pahayag ni Bernardo sa iya sinumpaan nga pahayag.

Si Revilla, nga sadto anay nag-atubang sang mga kaso nga plunder sa Pork Barrel Scandal, nagpanghiwala sang mga alegasyon: “Ini ginresiklo nga propaganda. Pirme ko ginahatagan sang prayoridad ang lehitimo nga imprastraktura para sa akon mga konstituente.”

Gintawag ni Escudero ang mga kaso nga “politikal ang motibo,” samtang ang kampo ni Binay nagbasura sini bilang “wala sing basehan,” nga nagkutlo sang iya adbokasiya para sa pagpanghanda sa kalamidad.

Talalupangdon, si Senator Mark Villar, nga gintumod man sa report, nagsiling, “Ang akon rekord sa imprastraktura nagahambal para sa iya kaugalingon. Ginalauman ko ang bisan ano nga patas nga imbestigasyon.”

Ginkumpirmar sang ICI nga ang ebidensya ginapadala sa Office of the Ombudsman para sa kriminal nga pagpasaka sang kaso. Ang mga kaso mahimo maglakip sang plunder, graft, kag malversation sang pondo sang publiko.

Gintumod man sang komisyon ang 12 ka mga regional director sang DPWH para sa “systemic nga pagpabaya” sa pag-aprobar sang malimbong nga mga proposal sang proyekto.

Ang mga alegasyon nagpadala sang mga balatyagon sang kakibuhan sa Senado, nga ang mga watchdog group nagapangayo sang pagpangakig. “Indi lamang ini korapsyon—pagluib ini. Ang mga pondo para sa baha ginkawat samtang ang mga komunidad nagakalumos,” siling ni Terry Ridon, convenor sang InfraWatch PH.

Ang pamunuan sang Senado wala pa nakakomento, apang ang mga insider nagapanugyan nga ang pagpahamtang sang suspensyon sa mga miembro nga nadalahig mahimo magsunod sa mga desisyon sang Ombudsman.

Ang Ombudsman may yara 90 ka adlaw sa pag-ebalwar sang ebidensya sang ICI. Kon ang probable cause mapatindog, ang mga akusado magaatubang sang pagbista sa Sandiganbayan.

Ang ICI ginpundar sang 2022 agud imbestigaran ang graft sa panguna nga mga proyekto sa imprastraktura. Ini nga pag-usisa nagapareho sa nagapadayon nga kaso sang Ombudsman batok kay anay Rep. Zaldy Co sa pareho man nga mga alegasyon.ll ANB NEWS ll # # #

Cavite Rep. Kiko Barzaga Urges Public to Withdraw Support for President Marcos, Cites Betrayal of Public Trust.
ll By: Chito. Mabaquiao Bernit Jr. ll

Cavite 4th District Representative Francisco “Kiko” Barzaga has recently intensified his criticism of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., urging the public to withdraw their support and calling for accountability over alleged corruption and betrayal of public trust. Barzaga's statements come amidst a backdrop of House suspension and ongoing rallies against the Marcos administration .

During a rally at the EDSA People Power Monument, Barzaga called on Filipinos to withdraw their support for President Marcos, stating, "We have given him a large responsibility and wala pa siyang nagagawa (he has not done anything yet), and we cannot keep continuing this". He further asserted that the economy cannot handle another three years of Marcos as president, recommending that government agencies and private citizens alike withdraw their support, hoping for the President's resignation .

Barzaga has also revealed his intention to file an impeachment complaint against President Marcos, citing "betrayal of public trust" as the primary ground,. This move is linked to alleged irregularities in multi-billion-peso flood control projects, which are currently under investigation. Although the impeachment complaint has been prepared, it has not yet been formally filed with the House of Representatives, .

Despite facing a 60-day suspension from the House of Representatives for his social media posts, Barzaga remains unfazed and continues to demand accountability from Marcos,. He has stated that no punishment will deter him from fighting against corruption, even in the face of imprisonment and death .

Barzaga participated in the United People’s Initiative (UPI) rally against corruption at the EDSA People Power Monument, where he reiterated his call for Marcos to resign. He also referenced a former Ako-Bicol party list representative's exposé, which accused President Marcos of receiving P25 billion in budget insertions .ll ANB NEWS ll Photo courtesy of Cong.

Former DPWH Secretary Singson Resigns from Anti-Corruption Commission, Cites Health and Security Concerns.
ll By: Chito Mabaquiao Berjit Jr. ll

Rogelio "Babes" Singson, former Secretary of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), has resigned from his role as commissioner of the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI), effective December 15, 2025. The announcement was made by ICI Chairperson Andres Reyes during a press briefing on Monday.

Singson, 77, attributed his resignation to health concerns and security challenges linked to the high-pressure demands of the commission’s anti-corruption mandate. In a statement relayed by Chair Reyes, Singson emphasized that the “intense and stressful nature of ICI operations” had taken a toll on his well-being. “Secretary Singson is not accustomed to this kind of rigorous, high-stakes environment,” Reyes added, referencing the former official’s decades-long career in public service, including his tenure as DPWH chief from 2010 to 2016.

Singson’s departure marks the second high-profile exit from the ICI since its establishment in September 2025. Earlier this year, Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong stepped down as special adviser, citing similar pressures. Despite these setbacks, Chair Reyes assured the public that investigations into infrastructure-related corruption—including ongoing probes into irregularities in flood control projects and procurement scams—would continue “without delay.”

“We have already gathered substantial evidence in key cases,” Reyes stated. “The ICI remains committed to its mandate of rooting out graft in public infrastructure.”

The ICI’s creation was initially hailed as a critical step toward accountability under President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s administration. However, critics argue the body has been slow to deliver tangible results, with only two minor cases forwarded to the Ombudsman since its launch. Singson’s resignation has further fueled skepticism about the commission’s stability and efficacy.

“This resignation underscores the systemic challenges of combating entrenched corruption,” said Transparency Philippines spokesperson Clara Santos. “The government must ensure the ICI’s independence and provide adequate protections for its members.”

Malacañang Palace is expected to name Singson’s replacement by mid-December. Meanwhile, Chair Reyes reaffirmed the ICI’s focus on high-priority cases, including a nationwide audit of infrastructure projects flagged for alleged overpricing and contractor collusion.

Singson, a retired army general, is widely recognized for his anti-corruption reforms during his DPWH tenure, including stricter bidding processes and infrastructure quality controls. His appointment to the ICI in 2025 was seen as a strategic move to leverage his expertise, but his abrupt exit now raises questions about the commission’s ability to retain seasoned leaders in its fight against graft.ll ANB NEWS ll Photo: Ctto ll # # #

Hunger Strike Erupts in Neg. Occ. District Jail: PDL's Demand Justice Amid Rights Abuses.
ll By: Chito Mabaquiao Berjit Jr. and Reynold Diosana ll

Bago City, Negros Island – December 3, 2025 – Political prisoners (PPs) and persons deprived of liberty (PDLs) in Negros and other Philippine jails have initiated a hunger strike today, December 3, to protest what they describe as intensifying rights violations, cruel and inhumane treatment, and the deliberate failure of jail authorities to address their long-standing grievances. The action coincides with Political Prisoners' Day and aims to highlight the harsh realities within Philippine detention facilities.

According to representatives of the protesting prisoners, the hunger strike is a direct response to the ongoing harassment, intimidation, and repression they face under a militarized and unaccountable system. They assert that these conditions violate both national laws and international human rights standards.

The protesters cite specific issues at the Negros Occidental District Jail (NODJ), including excessive restrictions, collective punishment, denial of good conduct time allowance, irregular sun exposure schedules, lack of medical supplies, reduced food rations, inadequate ventilation, selective participation in programs, and humiliating visiting procedures.

"These actions blatantly contravene the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners, the BJMP Comprehensive Operations Manual, Republic Act 7438, and Republic Act 9745," said a spokesperson for the group.

The prisoners also allege that authorities continue to label political detainees as members of the "Communist Terrorist Group," denying them recognition as political prisoners and subjecting them to harassment, fabricated charges, and punitive measures.

The situation reportedly worsened following the reinstatement of Warden JSUPT (Atty.) Crisyrel P. Awe, with abuses escalating under BJMP – Negros Island Region, led by JCSUPT Brendan O. Fulgencio.

The protesters highlight the tragic death of PDL Warlito Turbela on November 7, 2025, claiming that the despair caused by cruel conditions contributed to his death. They also point to the case of Political Prisoner Lorenzo "Tisoy" Perolino, who was placed in solitary confinement, as evidence of the extreme violations they face.

The prisoners are demanding a full, impartial, and urgent investigation into Warden Awe's leadership and an end to all forms of harassment, unlawful isolation, intimidation, restricted visits, and suppression of rehabilitation programs.

In addition to addressing the immediate issues within the jails, the protesters are also calling for broader systemic changes, including the release of all political prisoners, the resumption of peace talks between the Government of the Republic of the Philippines (GRP) and the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP), a review of laws used to criminalize political dissent, and reforms to prioritize rehabilitation over punishment.

The prisoners are urging human rights organizations, churches, legal associations, and the public to support their campaign leading up to International Human Rights Day on December 10.ll ANB NEWS ll # # #

The cash was surrendered through his legal counsel and received by the Department of Justice (DOJ), with representatives from the Bureau of the Treasury and Land Bank of the Philippines present to validate the amount. Authorities will conduct bank verification before formally transferring the funds to the Treasury.

Alcantara, who was dismissed for grave misconduct and is currently detained at a Senate facility for contempt, has been implicated in "ghost" and substandard flood control projects—including a nonexistent ₱55-million river wall in Baliuag.

The DOJ noted this is the first tranche of a larger ₱300 million he has agreed to return as part of his cooperation with the anti-corruption probe.llANB NEWS ll 🎥 Ctto ll # # #
