RESIGNED Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Manuel Bonoan turns out to be part of a family contractor business that bagged huge government projects in Pampanga, Senate President Pro Tempore Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson revealed Tuesday.
In his privilege speech, Lacson said Bonoan’s daughter Fatima Gay Bonoan-dela Cruz is treasurer of MBB Global Properties Corp., owned by the family of Candaba Mayor Rene Maglanque.
“Kaya naman pala ang palaging depensa ni dating DPWH Secretary Bonoan – isolated case lang daw ang nakita ni Pangulong Bongbong Marcos na ghost project sa Bulacan. Ayaw na siguro ni Bonoan na maungkat pa sa imbestigasyon ang Globalcrete (So that’s why former DPWH Sec. Bonoan claimed the anomalous projects that President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. saw in Bulacan were ‘isolated cases.’ Perhaps Bonoan did not want the investigation to reach Globalcrete),” Lacson said.
