MANILA — The National Bureau of Investigation plans to refer cases to the Department of Justice seeking the filing of criminal complaints against 12 officials and contractors of Genesis88, according to NBI Director Melvin Matibag. The charges stem from alleged violations of the Anti-Graft and Corruption Practices Act in connection with flood control projects valued at P7 billion in Davao City. Matibag did not immediately provide further details on the specific violations or the names of those facing potential charges.
The investigation into Genesis88's operations represents part of broader efforts by the NBI to examine large-scale infrastructure projects. The P7-billion flood control initiative has drawn scrutiny as authorities examine whether proper procedures were followed in the project's execution and oversight.
Once the NBI submits its recommendations to the Department of Justice, prosecutors will review the evidence and determine whether to proceed with formal charges. The case marks a significant development in accountability efforts surrounding major government-funded construction programs in Mindanao.
