Former Bulacan district engineer Henry Alcantara testifies before the Sandiganbayan that he helped raise PHP 90 million in connection with a flood control project in Pandi, Bulacan. Alcantara says the money was sourced from private contractors and was meant as a commitment or kickback fee for then-Senator Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr. He attributes the raising of funds to instructions from his former boss, Roberto Bernardo, who is identified as a former Public Works Undersecretary. In his testimony, Alcantara frames the alleged payment arrangement as part of the project’s funding process, describing the requested amounts as part of a purported incentive to Revilla. The claim is presented in court as part of the prosecution’s evidence, with Alcantara serving as a witness in the case. The testimony focuses on the alleged amount, the involvement of private contractors as the source, and the claimed link between the project and Revilla’s alleged receipt of kickbacks, following directives tied to Bernardo.
