Cease-and-Desist Orders Expected for Taguig Projects

Senator Panfilo "Ping" Lacson stated that the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is poised to issue cease-and-desist orders for ongoing slope protection and flood control projects in Taguig City. He mentioned that the DPWH and the Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA) have reached an agreement regarding these orders, which will halt the mentioned activities.

The decision follows the identification of 32 projects in Taguig that are alleged to be anomalous. These projects are located in an area known to be a political stronghold of Senator Alan Peter Cayetano. Lacson's announcement signals a significant intervention amid scrutiny of these developments.

The anticipated orders aim to address concerns over the integrity and legality of the ongoing projects. Further details on the specific projects affected have not been disclosed.
