The Department of Public Works and Highways and the Commission on Audit are set to submit Monday afternoon recommendations for the filing of criminal charges against government contractors involved in ghost and substandard flood projects.DPWH Secretary Vince Dizon said a separate set of recommendations for the filing of charges against DPWH insiders will also be submitted on Thursday or Friday.“Sa Huwebes o Biyernes, inaayos na rin natin ang mga kaso dito sa mga (taga)-loob ng DPWH. Kaya lang na-delay ng konti dahil hinihintay natin ‘yung privilege speech ni Sen. Panfilo Lacson sa Wednesday dahil nagsabi siya sa akin na bibigyan niya ako ng dagdag na ebidensya against dito sa ibang masasamang kawani ng DPWH na naging ka-kuntsaba ng mga contractor na ito,” he said in a DZMM interview.The DPWH will also submit the names of contractors and other individuals linked to flood control anomalies to the Department of Justice for possible inclusion in immigration lookout bulletins. Dizon also welcomed the proposal of Akbayan party-list lawmaker Chel Diokno that DPWH officials should sign bank waivers, saying he has asked the legal department to study it. The new DPWH chief is also looking at 5 individuals to be his new undersecretaries after asking all DPWH deputies to submit their courtesy resignations.“Sa mga plano kong ilagay na undersecretaries, meron akong tinitingnan pa lang na 5. Outsider lahat. Kailangan may mga bago tayong dadalhin dito na marurunong, trusted natin at kayang gawin &#x27;yung trabaho.&quot;
