MANILA, Philippines — The camp of Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) District Engineer Henry Alcantara denied accusations linking him to alleged ghost flood control projects in Bulacan, insisting he had no hand in the supposed scheme.
In a statement issued over the weekend, the Flaminiano Arroyo & Dueñas law firm, which represents Alcantara, said its client “maintains his innocence: he did not author these alleged ghost projects. Any wrongdoing was done behind his back, without his knowledge, acquiescence, or approval.”
The statement directly counters claims that Alcantara was the “kingpin” of the controversial projects, which authorities are now investigating for possible irregularities., This news data comes from:http://vrxddm.705-888.com
“Engr. Alcantara will contest every accusation that he had supposedly participated in and/or benefitted from any unlawful scheme,” the law firm said, adding that he would exhaust all legal remedies, including challenging his summary dismissal from service.
