CIDG confirms receipt of arrest warrants for Zaldy Co, 15 others

MANILA, Philippines — The Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) on Friday said it has received the arrest warrants against resigned Ako Bicol party-list Rep. Zaldy Co and 15 others in connection with an anomalous flood control project in Oriental Mindoro.

Late Friday afternoon, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. announced that arrest warrants had been issued against Co and 15 others in the Department of Public Works and Highways and construction firm Sunwest Corporation.

Asked whether their unit already received the warrants, in a message to reporters, CIDG Director Maj. Gen. Robert Alexander Morico II answered in the affirmative.

Earlier, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) said it had already deployed police tracker teams to go after Co and his co-accused.

Co is linked to Sunwest Corporation and was formerly the House appropriations committee chair who oversaw the congressional deliberations of the 2025 national budget.

Last Tuesday, the first set of charges against Co and 17 others over an alleged anomalous P289.5-million road dike project in Oriental Mindoro was raffled off by the Sandiganbayan.

Co has since denied the allegations against him and instead pointed to Marcos as the mastermind behind the kickbacks.

The PNP previously said it was ready to enforce arrest warrants against personalities allegedly involved in corruption of flood control and other infrastructure projects. /mr
