The Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) has requested the Department of Justice (DOJ) to issue an immigration lookout bulletin order (ILBO) against 17 individuals, including former Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) officials and executives of Sunwest Construction Corp., amid its ongoing probe into alleged irregularities in flood control and other "ghost" and substandard infrastructure projects.
In a press release, the ICI addressed to the new acting Justice Secretary, Fredderick Vida, ICI Chairman Justice Andres B. Reyes Jr. (ret.) cited the commission’s authority under Executive Order No. 94 in seeking the DOJ’s assistance to prevent possible flight risks among those under probe.
The 17 individuals listed in the ICI’s request include:
- 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; 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
The ILBO is a preventive measure used to monitor and restrict individuals under investigation from leaving the country.
"This request is made in view of the criminal cases filed by the Office of the Ombudsman before the Sandiganbayan on 18 November 2025, which involve several DPWH officials and key officers of Sunwest in connection with alleged ghost projects and substandard flood-control implementations," ICI said.
Last month, ICI sought the issuance of an ILBO against several high-ranking officials and lawmakers, including former House Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez, former Ako Bicol Party-list Representative Zaldy Co, Senators Francis “Chiz” Escudero, Jinggoy Estrada, and Joel Villanueva, former Senators Bong Revilla and Makati Mayor Nancy Binay, other DPWH officials, and several members of the House of Representatives.
