MANILA, Philippines – Senator Jinggoy Estrada has been barred from leaving the Philippines due to his criminal complaints that stem from the flood control mess.

This, after the Department of Justice secured a precautionary hold departure order from a Manila court in February.

The allegations against Estrada come from witnesses like former district engineer Henry Alcantara, who claimed that the senator allegedly received kickbacks from flood control projects.

This is not the first time that Estrada faced corruption allegations – he was previously tagged in other issues like the pork barrel scam.
