A Manila court has barred Senator Jinggoy Estrada from leaving the Philippines due to criminal complaints linked to the flood control mess. This follows the Department of Justice securing a precautionary hold departure order in February. The allegations stem from witnesses like former district engineer Henry Alcantara, who claimed the senator received kickbacks from flood control projects.

The Sandiganbayan has upheld its denial of bail for nine co-accused of fugitive lawmaker Zaldy Co in the Oriental Mindoro flood control malversation case, rejecting their motion for reconsideration in a 27-page resolution.
Prosecutors from the Sandiganbayan Third Division conducted an ocular inspection yesterday at the supposed site of a P92.8-million flood control project in Pandi, Bulacan, and found nothing.
