Public Works Secretary Vincent Dizon has asked the Professional Regulation Community (PRC) to permanently revoke the professional license of those who will be proven involved in anomalous flood-control projects.
Dizon and PRC Chair Charito Zamora on Friday signed an agreement that will cancel the licenses of engineers and other professionals under the Department of Public Works and Highways if proven to have committed irregularities in flood control projects.
‘DPWH and PRC really need to have a deep working relationship so that those involved are not only held accountable for the anomaly [substandard and flood control projects], but also to prevent it from happening again in the years to come,’ speaking in Filipino, Dizon said during the signing.
‘It’s not just about accountability, but it’s also about safeguarding the institutions and the projects that DPWH is doing from now moving forward,’ he added.
Furthermore, Dizon asked PRC to permanently cancel the licenses of former DPWH District Engineer Henry Alcantara and others who are currently under investigation for alleged anomalies in said projects
