THE Supreme Court has affirmed the dismissal of a district engineer of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Zamboanga del Norte from government service stemming from the alleged anomalous purchase of guardrails and guardrail posts worth P5.5 million in 2004.

In a 20-page decision penned by Associate Justice Ramon Paul Hernando, the high tribunal's Second Division denied the petition filed by Arturo Miñao.
