INARESTO ng pulisya ang isang district engineer ng Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) sa Batangas dahil sa umano’y tangkang panunuhol ng halagang P3.1 milyon si  Rep Leandro Legarda Leviste kapalit ng hindi pag-iimbestiga sa mga hinihinalang maanomalyang public works projects sa lalawigan.

Sa ulat ng pulisya sa Camp Crame nitong Lunes, kinilala ang suspek na si Abelardo Calalo, 51, at residente ng Bgy. San Roque, San Pablo City, Laguna.

Arestado si Calalo sa operasyon sa Bgy. Poblacion Zone 12 sa Taal, Batangas noong Agosto 22.

Si Calalo ay ang officer-in-charge ng DPWH Batangas 1st District Engineering Office.

Bago ang pag-aresto, iniulat ni Rep. Leviste ng 1st district ng Batangas sa lokal na pulisya ang umano’y tangkang panunuhol ng mga akusado.

Isang ulat kay Police Regional Office-4A Regional Director Brig. Sinabi ni Gen. Jack L. Wanky na inalok ng akusado ang pera sa batang mambabatas  para pigilan siya sa pag-iimbestiga sa mga proyekto ng DPWH sa 1st district ng Batangas.

Nauna nang ibinunyag ni Leviste na ang kanyang mga inspeksyon noong Agosto ay natuklasan ang mga proyekto sa flood control sa kanyang distrito na hindi maganda ang pagkakagawa na may mga istrukturang gumuho sa mga nagdaang bagyo, kahit na ang mga ito ay itinayo lamang sa mga nakaraang taon.

Kabilang sa mga ininspeksyon ni Leviste ay ang mga proyekto sa kahabaan ng Palico River, Binambang River, at Pansipit River sa Batangas.

Tumanggi namang magbigay ng pahayag ang suspek at abogado na lamang niya ang sasagot sa mga akusasyon.

Narekober ang P3,126,900 na ibinayad ng akusado sa mambabatas, na anak nina Sen. Loren Legarda at dating Batangas Gov. Antonio Leviste.

Sinabi naman  ni Batangas police director Col. Geovanny Emerick Sibalo na sumunod ang kanilang mga pulis sa mga regulasyon at lahat ng ebidensya na  maayos na naimbentaryo.

Nakakulong ngayon si Calalo sa Taal jail facility.

Nakatakdang magsampa ng pormal na kaso ng katiwalian ang batang mambabatas sa district engineer sa Martes.

Nauna rito, nagpahayag ng galit si Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. sa mga bigong flood control projects sa bansa habang nagbabala siya na ang mga nasa likod ng multi-bilyong anomalya ay mahaharap sa mga kasong economic sabotage at plunder.
