DPWH seeks charges vs Romualdez, 86 others in flood control probe

The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has recommended the filing of cases against 87 individuals allegedly involved in the flood control scandal, including former Speaker Martin G. Romualdez and Elizady S. Co.

“The DPWH and the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI), together with the Department of Justice are recommending charges of plunder, malversation, graft and bribery against 87 individuals,” Public Works and Highways Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon said during the agency’s briefing on Thursday.

Those recommended for charges include former Public Works Secretary Manuel M. Bonoan; former DPWH undersecretaries Roberto R. Bernardo and Maria Catalina E. Cabral; Senators Emmanuel Joel J. Villanueva and Jose P. Ejercito Estrada; former senator Ramon B. Revilla, Jr.; and contractor Cezarah C. Discaya.

The DPWH said it is working with several government agencies to investigate the alleged irregularities, following President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr.’s directive during his July 28 State of the Nation Address to submit a complete list of flood control projects from the past three years and to conduct a full investigation.

Mr. Marcos had earlier said that about P100 billion of the P545 billion allocated for flood control projects nationwide since 2022 had been cornered by just 15 contractors.

So far, authorities have frozen P13 billion worth of assets linked to the probe, including 4,679 bank accounts, 283 insurance policies, 255 vehicles, 178 real estate properties, 16 e-wallet accounts, and three securities accounts.– Ashley Erika O. Jose

DOGE ETF Hype Fades as Whales Sell and Traders Await Decline

The post DOGE ETF Hype Fades as Whales Sell and Traders Await Decline appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Leading meme coin Dogecoin (DOGE) has struggled to gain momentum despite excitement surrounding the anticipated launch of a US-listed Dogecoin ETF this week. On-chain data reveals a decline in whale participation and a general uptick in coin selloffs across exchanges, hinting at the possibility of a deeper price pullback in the coming days. Sponsored Sponsored DOGE Faces Decline as Whales Hold Back, Traders Sell The market is anticipating the launch of Rex-Osprey’s Dogecoin ETF (DOJE) tomorrow, which is expected to give traditional investors direct exposure to Dogecoin’s price movements.  However, DOGE’s price performance has remained muted ahead of the milestone, signaling a lack of enthusiasm from traders. According to on-chain analytics platform Nansen, whale accumulation has slowed notably over the past week. Large investors, with wallets containing DOGE coins worth more than $1 million, appear unconvinced by the ETF narrative and have reduced their holdings by over 4% in the past week.  For token TA and market updates: Want more token insights like this?
