Metro Manila, Philippines – The Sandiganbayan 3rd Division has issued a warrant of arrest against former Sen. Bong Revilla and six others, in relation to their non-bailable malversation case over an anomalous project in Pandi, Bulacan.
The court included in the warrant dated Jan. 19, the following:
- Former DPWH Bulacan assistant district engineer Brice Hernandez
- Former DPWH Bulacan engineer Jaypee Mendoza
- Former DPWH Bulacan engineer Arjay Domasig
- Former DPWH Bulacan engineer Emelita Capistrano Juat
- Juanito Mendoza (accountant)
- Cristina Pineda (cashier)
The anti-graft court also issued a hold departure order barring them from leaving the country.
On Friday, Jan. 16, the ombudsman filed the charges wit the Sandiganbayan in connection with the ₱92.8-million flood control project in Pandi, Bulacan which was awarded in March 2025 but never implemented.
The ombudsman said the respondents “conspired” to facilitate the release of funds for the supposed construction of the project, which turned out to be non-existent.
Revilla is the second former lawmaker to face a Sandiganbayan case in the flood control scandal, following former AKO BICOL party-list Rep. Zaldy Co. The former House appropriations chairman remains to be at large.
In 2018, the former senator was acquitted of plunder for his alleged involvement in the priority development assistance fund or the pork barrel scam.
The Sandiganbayan cleared Revilla of his graft cases in 2021.
