Risa backs independent flood mess probe
Senator Risa Hontiveros has welcomed the idea of an independent commission investigating the alleged anomalies in flood control projects across the Philippines, in addition to ongoing Senate and House inquiries.
Hontiveros believes that multiple investigative bodies can complement each other's work to uncover the truth and identify those accountable for the mismanagement of public funds allocated for flood control.
She emphasized that such comprehensive investigations are crucial for ensuring proper budget execution and responsible use of public money.
The names of Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong and former DPWH Secretary Rogelio Singson have been proposed as potential leaders for this independent probe team.
