DPWH seeks charges vs Romualdez, 86 others in flood control probe

The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has recommended the filing of cases against 87 individuals allegedly involved in the flood control scandal, including former Speaker Martin G. Romualdez and Elizady S. Co.

“The DPWH and the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI), together with the Department of Justice are recommending charges of plunder, malversation, graft and bribery against 87 individuals,” Public Works and Highways Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon said during the agency’s briefing on Thursday.

Those recommended for charges include former Public Works Secretary Manuel M. Bonoan; former DPWH undersecretaries Roberto R. Bernardo and Maria Catalina E. Cabral; Senators Emmanuel Joel J. Villanueva and Jose P. Ejercito Estrada; former senator Ramon B. Revilla, Jr.; and contractor Cezarah C. Discaya.

The DPWH said it is working with several government agencies to investigate the alleged irregularities, following President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr.’s directive during his July 28 State of the Nation Address to submit a complete list of flood control projects from the past three years and to conduct a full investigation.

Mr. Marcos had earlier said that about P100 billion of the P545 billion allocated for flood control projects nationwide since 2022 had been cornered by just 15 contractors.

So far, authorities have frozen P13 billion worth of assets linked to the probe, including 4,679 bank accounts, 283 insurance policies, 255 vehicles, 178 real estate properties, 16 e-wallet accounts, and three securities accounts.– Ashley Erika O. Jose

Is Doge Losing Steam As Traders Choose Pepeto For The Best Crypto Investment?

The post Is Doge Losing Steam As Traders Choose Pepeto For The Best Crypto Investment? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 17:39 Is dogecoin really fading? As traders hunt the best crypto to buy now and weigh 2025 picks, Dogecoin (DOGE) still owns the meme coin spotlight, yet upside looks capped, today’s Dogecoin price prediction says as much. Attention is shifting to projects that blend culture with real on-chain tools. Buyers searching “best crypto to buy now” want shipped products, audits, and transparent tokenomics. That frames the true matchup: dogecoin vs. Pepeto. Enter Pepeto (PEPETO), an Ethereum-based memecoin with working rails: PepetoSwap, a zero-fee DEX, plus Pepeto Bridge for smooth cross-chain moves. By fusing story with tools people can use now, and speaking directly to crypto presale 2025 demand, Pepeto puts utility, clarity, and distribution in front. In a market where legacy meme coin leaders risk drifting on sentiment, Pepeto’s execution gives it a real seat in the “best crypto to buy now” debate. First, a quick look at why dogecoin may be losing altitude. Dogecoin Price Prediction: Is Doge Really Fading? Remember when dogecoin made crypto feel simple? In 2013, DOGE turned a meme into money and a loose forum into a movement. A decade on, the nonstop momentum has cooled; the backdrop is different, and the market is far more selective. With DOGE circling ~$0.268, the tape reads bearish-to-neutral for the next few weeks: hold the $0.26 shelf on daily closes and expect choppy range-trading toward $0.29–$0.30 where rallies keep stalling; lose $0.26 decisively and momentum often bleeds into $0.245 with risk of a deeper probe toward $0.22–$0.21; reclaim $0.30 on a clean daily close and the downside bias is likely neutralized, opening room for a squeeze into the low-$0.30s.
