Chavit Singson asks ICI to probe Ilocos Norte flood control projects

Former Ilocos Sur governor Chavit Singson urged the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) to investigate alleged anomalous flood control projects in Ilocos Norte, suspecting ghost projects contracted by firms linked to Sarah and Curlee Discaya.

Singson specifically named St. Matthew Construction, St. Gerrard Construction, St. Timothy Construction, and Alpha and Omega Construction as Discaya-linked contractors.

President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. warned that no one, including family members or political allies, would be spared from the investigation into corruption allegations in flood control projects.

The President established the ICI through Executive Order 94 on September 11, 2025, to probe irregularities in flood control projects and all national government infrastructure works.

President Marcos Jr. stated that being subjected to investigation is a way to determine innocence or guilt.

His cousin, House Speaker Martin Romualdez, who recently resigned his post, and close ally Representative Zaldy Co of the Ako Bicol partylist are among those implicated.

Singson also criticized President Marcos, claiming the President is part of the problem for signing the 2025 budget, which he alleges is riddled with irregularities, and questioned his stance on corruption.

Singson called for a "peaceful revolution" led by the youth and students through boycotting classes until all corrupt officials step down.
