The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) is conducting a probe into alleged funding irregularities involving a sports complex in New Clark City, Tarlac, which was used as a venue for the 2019 Southeast Asian (SEA) Games. NBI chief Melvin Matibag says the agency launched the investigation after visiting the area during the establishment of a 70-hectare NBI Academy. According to Matibag, the NBI received information that about P10 billion was involved in the sports complex project and that it did not undergo liquidation. He also stated that a Malaysian company built the complex used during the SEA Games. The NBI’s announcement indicates the investigation is focused on how the project’s funding was handled and whether required procedures were followed. Further details on the specific allegations, the parties involved, and any next steps are not provided in the available reports, but the NBI’s move signals an effort to verify the reported funding and compliance issues tied to the facility’s development.
