                    [Summary] => 
A public works contractor blacklisted by the World Bank for alleged collusive practices with corrupt officials has bagged a P100-million contract with the government.
The information surfaced in the course of yesterday’s hearing by the House committee on public works, chaired by Southern Leyte Rep. Roger Mercado, on the blacklisting by the WB of three Filipino and seven Chinese contractors who participated in the bidding for $33 million worth of road projects the bank offered to finance.

Barbers called for the investigation after receiving numerous complaints from construction companies that several government projects have been delayed because of Bonoan’s "obstruction, more often on the companies’ financial status."

The Philippine Constructors Association, Inc.
