NBI summons DPWH Davao chief over flood works inquiry

The National Bureau of Investigation on Monday issued a subpoena to Juby Cordon, director of the Department of Public Works and Highways office in Region XI (Davao), in connection with an ongoing investigation into irregularities in flood control works. Cordon was served the subpoena at her office, according to NBI officials.

The summons is part of a broader inquiry into the flood works scandal, which has drawn scrutiny from various government agencies. Details of the specific allegations against the DPWH Davao office remain under investigation.

The subpoena requires Cordon to appear before NBI investigators to answer questions and provide documents related to the agency's flood mitigation projects in the Davao region. The investigation underscores ongoing concerns about infrastructure project implementation and accountability in the public works sector.

The DPWH has not yet issued a public statement regarding the subpoena or the investigation. The Davao regional office is responsible for overseeing public infrastructure projects across Mindanao's largest urban center.
