Senator Estrada files perjury charges against former engineer Hernandez over false testimony in flood control probe.

Senator Jinggoy Estrada filed four perjury complaints against former DPWH engineer Brice Hernandez on October 7, 2025, accusing him of making false statements under oath during a congressional probe into flood control projects in Bulacan. Estrada denies allegations that he received a 30% kickback from P355 million in projects, calling the claims baseless and politically driven. The complaint, filed with the Quezon City Prosecutor’s Office, cites Article 183 of the Revised Penal Code, alleging malicious intent to harm Estrada’s reputation. Hernandez, now under the DOJ’s Witness Protection Program, previously implicated Estrada and others in the probe, which is part of a larger investigation into alleged graft in infrastructure projects. The case remains under review.
