司法部建议就防洪工程腐败丑闻，对参议员Jinggoy Estrada和公共工程与公路部前部长Manuel Bonoan提起贪污及贿赂诉讼。
监察员办公室于2026年5月18日周一证实，已收到司法部建议提出指控的决议。司法部同时建议对Estrada、Bonoan以及多名公共工程与公路部前官员提起直接贿赂和腐败公职人员的指控。
针对前副部长Roberto Bernardo、Gerard Opulencia和Henry Alcantara的指控已被撤销，因为他们已加入证人保护计划。针对已于2025年12月去世的前副部长Maria Catalina Cabral的案件也已被撤销。
监察员办公室表示，将在决定是否向法院提起诉讼前进行独立审查。司法部已于2月针对Estrada和Bonoan申请了预防性限制出境令。
调查引用了2025年11月14日参议院听证会上的证据，该证据详细说明了地区防洪项目涉嫌存在30%的回扣问题。
