@bnc.ph: EX-DPWH OFFICIAL LINKS ESCUDERO TO ₱160-M KICKBACK Former DPWH Undersecretary Roberto Bernardo dropped a bombshell at the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee hearing, claiming he handed over ₱160 million — allegedly 20% of some ₱800 million worth of flood control projects — to businessman Maynard Ngu, described as a friend and campaign contributor of Sen. Francis “Chiz” Escudero. Bernardo said the amount was “meant for Senator Escudero,” who has repeatedly denied receiving any kickbacks and was recently ousted as Senate president amid the widening corruption scandal.
