PHThe National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) is investigating whether substandard and potentially radioactive steel from a recently raided metal plant in Pampanga were used in government flood control projects. NBI Director Melvin Matibag mentioned that the bureau has conducted nationwide test purchases to gather evidence. This investigation raises concerns about the quality and safety of materials used in critical infrastructure projects. If confirmed, this could indicate negligence or corruption in the procurement process. The findings could impact public trust in government infrastructure initiatives.
