Legal issue

On May 6, 2024, whistleblower "Francisco Balagtas" filed with the Ombudsman a 3-page complaint dated May 1, 2024, against Fernando, Alex Castro, other local officials, including TCSC Corporation's owners-officers Dionisio Toreja, President, Engr. Bernie Pacheco, Vice President for Mining and others. The corruption case stemmed from the alleged anomalous P500 million Bulacan Flood Control and River Restoration Project, including TCSC's Bulacan dredging projects. ^{[5] [6]}
