Nine accused in Bulacan flood control mess, including Discayas, now in custody -- DILG's Remulla

Department of the Interior and Local Government Secretary Jonvic Remulla confirmed that nine out of the 11 individuals implicated in the Bulacan flood control controversy have been apprehended. The arrests follow the official issuance of warrants for those involved in the alleged irregularities. Authorities are currently working to secure the remaining two suspects who have yet to be taken into custody. Among those already detained is a key figure identified as Discayas. The government continues to pursue the case as part of its broader efforts to address corruption within public infrastructure projects.

This development marks a significant step in the government's accountability efforts regarding the mismanagement of critical flood mitigation infrastructure in Bulacan.
