Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Vince Dizon says three DPWH officials in Davao City are relieved from their posts effective immediately, as the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) continues a probe into alleged irregularities in the city’s flood control projects.
Dizon specifies that the removed officials include former District Engineer Richard Ragasa, assistant district engineer Lilibeth Sarmiento, and construction chief Roberto Mamaril, with the investigation ongoing. The reports describe the move as part of administrative actions taken while the NBI examines potential anomalies in project implementation.
While both outlets focus on the same announcement and the same officials, their coverage differs slightly in phrasing. One report stresses the officials are “sacked” amid the probe, while the other frames the decision as relief from posts tied to an ongoing NBI inquiry. Neither source provides detailed findings from the investigation at this stage.
