The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) is filing additional documents with the Department of Justice (DOJ) as part of its review of alleged irregularities in flood control projects in Davao City. GMA News Online reports that the NBI submits the documents as a follow-up to an earlier referral made to the DOJ.
Across reports, the NBI says it has recommended the filing of graft complaints connected to contractors and public works officials involved in flood control works awarded between 2018 and 2024. Inquirer.net reports that NBI Director Melvin Matibag points to alleged violations of the Anti-Graft and Corruption Practices Act involving Genesis88 and officials, with recommendations reaching the DOJ. Rappler similarly links the probe to flood control projects valued around ₱1.9 billion tied to Genesis88 in Davao City.
While the outlets differ on the specific project totals cited, they converge on the same core development: the NBI’s findings and recommendations are being routed to prosecutors for potential criminal charges involving officials and a contractor associated with Davao flood control contracts.
