A photo of large cash bundles is presented during the hearing of the House of Representatives into alleged anomalous government flood control projects on Tuesday (Sept. 9, 2025). Brice Hernandez, former assistant district engineer of the Department of Public Works and Highways-Bulacan 1st District Engineering Office, revealed that the cash, representing kickbacks from anomalous projects, is kept and organized in a “tambayan” (hangout place) before it is distributed to recipients, which include some government officials and lawmakers. (PNA photo by Joan Bondoc)
