Bulacan
Former senator Bong Revilla has returned to detention at Quezon City Jail on a non-bailable malversation charge linked to a P92.8 million fictitious flood control project in Bulacan. This follows his December counter-affidavit to the DOJ denying the graft accusations, marking an escalation less than a decade after his pork barrel scam acquittal.

The Professional Regulatory Board of Civil Engineering has ordered the revocation of the civil engineering license of former Department of Public Works and Highways district engineer Henry Alcantara due to his confessed involvement in non-existent flood control projects in Bulacan. Alcantara has turned over P181.37 million to the Department of Justice as part of repaying the P300 million he admitted pocketing through kickbacks. He remains entitled to legal remedies under due process.
