Manila: Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Juanito Victor "Jonvic" Remulla announced on Tuesday that additional prominent individuals implicated in the flood control corruption scandal will face arrest in the coming weeks. According to Philippines News Agency, Remulla stated that significant arrests are expected soon, including notable politicians. "Big fish are coming soon. We should expect the Discayas, senators, congressmen in the next five weeks, sunod-sunod na sila. Walang 'La Catedral' dito. I-treat sila kagaya ng mga karamihan," he remarked, referencing the notorious La Catedral prison in Colombia. Remulla emphasized that those involved will not receive special treatment and will be handled like any other suspects. Currently, out of eight suspects already apprehended, six are detained at the New Quezon City Jail male dormitory. These individuals include Gerald Pacanan, Gene Ryan Altea, Ruben delos Santos Jr., Dominic Serrano, Felisardo Casuno, and engineer Dennis Abagon . Lerma Cayco is being held at the Camp Caringal female dormitory. The seven detained suspects will face trial for plunder, anti-graft violations, and indirect bribery at the Office of the Ombudsman. Juliet Calvo, another suspect, was granted bail for falsification of documents and will stand trial before a separate division of the Office of the Ombudsman. For suspects still at large in the United States and Qatar, Remulla has given them until Thursday to surrender to the nearest Philippine embassy, asserting that authorities have copies of their passports and the means to locate them globally. The search for alleged mastermind and former Ako Bicol Rep. Zaldy Co has proven difficult due to his possession of dual passports. Remulla revealed that Philippine National Police (PNP) tracker teams have been mobilized following confirmation of Co's movements across various countries, including the United States, Europe, and Asia. Remulla urged Co to return and face the charges against him. Bureau of Jail Managemen t and Penology Director Ruel Rivera assured that the detained suspects will receive standard treatment, including equal access to food, water, medical services, and visitation rights as other inmates. In a related development, PNP acting chief Lt. Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez issued a warning against individuals who may be aiding the accused, stating that such actions will be met with criminal charges. Nartatez emphasized the importance of allowing justice to proceed and cautioned against becoming entangled in the legal proceedings. "We understand the close ties among relatives and friends, but accountability and the rule of law must always prevail. Let us allow justice to take its course and part of it is to let them confront the cases filed against them," he stated, urging compliance with the law.
