在涉嫌与防洪工程相关的贪腐案中，法院向参议员金戈伊·埃斯特拉（Jinggoy Estrada）发出逮捕令后，他于5月29日缴纳了保释金。桑迪甘巴彦（Sandiganbayan）第二分庭将保释金定为9万比索。针对此丑闻的听证会定于6月4日恢复。
埃斯特拉于周五下午4点09分抵达桑迪甘巴彦，在缴纳保释金后于下午6点08分离开法院。他表示尊重法治，并打算通过法律途径为自己辩护。前公共工程部长曼努埃尔·博诺安（Manuel Bonoan）也在同一案件中缴纳了9万比索的保释金。
监察员办公室根据司法部的建议，对埃斯特拉和博诺安提出了贪腐和掠夺指控。这些指控涉及公共工程和公路部2025财年项目中的违规嫌疑。埃斯特拉因这起防洪丑闻总共面临三起诉讼。
参议院议长艾伦·彼得·卡耶塔诺（Alan Peter Cayetano）宣布，蓝带委员会的听证会将于6月4日恢复。预计参议员罗丹特·马尔科莱塔（Rodante Marcoleta）将于周一发布通知。总统费迪南德·马科斯（Ferdinand Marcos Jr.）表示，这些案件源于参议院和相关机构的调查，并非针对任何参议院派系。
