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。

Former House speaker and Leyte Rep. Martin Romualdez has moved to disqualify the Office of the Ombudsman from probing his alleged involvement in the flood control controversy, warning of a ‘pattern of prejudgment’ that violates due process. In a four-page letter dated April 22, his lawyers argued that statements by Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla show prosecution for plunder was decided in advance. He seeks handling by a neutral official.
