Raps vs DPWH Usec withdrawn

The Undersecretary of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) for Regional Operations has asked the Office of the Ombudsman to resolve the criminal charges filed against him and several others in connection with the alleged anomalous Masbate project, in view of a desistance filed by the complainants.

In a February 16, 2016 letter addressed to Ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales through Overall Deputy Ombudsman Melchor Arthur Carandang, DPWH Undersecretary engineer Romeo Momo sought for an update of the case entitled “Romeo Perez Esplana and Evaristo A. Buenaflor, Jr. vs. [Momo], et al.” where he said the complainant unduly hurled baseless and malicious accusations.
