MANILA, Philippines — Former Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) district engineer Henry Alcantara said he will stand by his earlier statements on the anomalous flood control projects.
Lawyer Emil Karlo Joven, legal counsel for Alcantara, in a statement denied claims that Alcantara had recanted testimonies previously given before the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee.
“Recent claims circulating on various news outlets and from certain social media personalities alleging that former Bulacan 1st District Engineering Office Engineer Henry C. Alcantara has recanted his earlier testimony given during the hearings of the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee, or statements in any other proceedings, are categorically false and misleading,” Joven’s statement read.
“In short, Engr. Alcantara is not recanting his prior statements,” he added.
Alcantara arrived at the Department of Justice on Tuesday, December 13, for the continuation of the preliminary investigation on the flood control projects in Bulacan.
However, when asked if he would recant his statement, he did not answer.
