Flood control anomalies
Senator Panfilo Lacson revealed that Macy Monique Maglanque,former president of Globalcrete Builders,was linked to ₱2.195 billion worth of flood control projects in Bulacan (2018–2024). Her father,Mayor Rene Maglanque,signed some of these contracts in 2024,even though he should have divested.
Maglanque is also president of MBB Global Properties Corporation,developer of the ₱1 billion Wyndham Garden Hotel in Clark,Pampanga. The company’s officers include Sunshine M. Bernardo (corporate secretary) and Fatima Gay B. (Bonoan) Dela Cruz (treasurer). Lacson noted that these individuals are children of Mayor Maglanque,DPWH Undersecretary Roberto Bernardo,and former DPWH Secretary Manuel Bonoan. The initials “MBB”in the company’s name stand for Maglanque,Bernardo,and Bonoan.
Lacson added that this may explain why Bonoan often defended DPWH projects,claiming isolated ghost projects in Bulacan,possibly to prevent the Globalcrete issue from being investigated further.[4]
