The letter bears a receiving stamp from the Ombudsman's office dated October 19, 2026.
The complainant said the request was made in the interest of ensuring that public funds are properly spent and disbursed. The attached summary reportedly outlines the details and status of the projects based on available reports, records and other information gathered.
A USB flash drive containing supporting evidence and reference materials, including relevant files, photographs and videos, was also submitted to assist the Ombudsman's office in evaluating the allegations and determining whether an investigation is warranted.
The complainant asked the Ombudsman to investigate the projects and pursue appropriate legal or administrative action against any responsible individuals, should the evidence justify such action.
Further details about the specific projects, their funding, contractors, reported deficiencies and the evidence submitted were not provided in the letter itself.
The filing places the San Pedro flood control projects before the Ombudsman for possible scrutiny, but any allegations of irregularities remain subject to verification and investigation.
The projects covered by the request are located in San Pedro City, which falls under the 1st Congressional District of Laguna, represented by Rep. Ann Matibag, wife of NBI director Melvin Matibag.
