MANILA, Philippines — The Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) asked the Department of Justice (DOJ) to issue an Immigration Lookout Bulletin Order (ILBO) against 17 individuals accused of malversation and graft over the alleged anomalous flood control project in Oriental Mindoro.
The ICI filed the request on November 19, a day after the Ombudsman filed malversation and graft complaints against former lawmaker Zaldy Co, officers of the Department of Public Works and Highways and some officers of Sunwest Corp.
The following are the individuals for whom the ICI requested an ILBO:
- Gerald A. Pacanan, CESO III – Regional Director, DPWH MIMAROPA Region IV-B
- Gene Ryan A. Altea – Assistant Regional Director
- Ruben C. Santos, Jr. – Assistant Regional Director
- Dominic G. Serrano – Chief, Construction Division; Bids and Awards Committee (BAC) Chairperson
- Felisardo S. Casuno – Project Engineer III
- Timojen A. Sacar – Materials Engineer
- Montrexis T. Tamayo – OIC-Chief, Planning and Design Division
- Juliet C. Calvo – Chief, Maintenance Division
- Dennis P. Abagon – OIC-Chief, Quality Assurance and Hydrology Division; Regular Member, BAC
- Lerma D. Cayco – Accountant IV
- Grace D. Lopez – Regular Member, BAC
- Friedrich Karl L. Camero – Vice Chairperson, BAC
- Aderma Angelie D. Alcazar – President and Chairperson, Sunwest Board of Directors
- Cesar X. Buenaventura – Treasurer and Member, Sunwest Board of Directors
- Consuelo D. Aldon – Member, Sunwest Board of Directors
- Engr. Noel Y. Cao – Member, Sunwest Board of Directors
- Anthony L. Ngo – Member, Sunwest Board of Directors
An ILBO is a directive to immigration authorities to monitor individuals from leaving the country, typically those who are subjects of ongoing investigations or legal cases.
It differs from a hold departure order, which is a court-issued directive preventing an individual from leaving the country.
The complaint filed on November 18 concerns the flood control project for constructing a Road Dike along the Mag-Asawang Tubig River in Naujan, Oriental Mindoro, which carried a budget of P289.5 million.
The DOJ first issued an ILBO to Zaldy Co on September 25. On October 8, the DOJ also issued ILBOs on lawmakers allegedly involved in the flood control corruption scandal.
