Speaker Romualdez backs ICI probe into flood control projects
House Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez expressed full support for President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s directive to hold everyone accountable in the ongoing probe into anomalous infrastructure projects.
Romualdez affirmed that the House of Representatives will uphold the principle of transparency and public trust, ensuring no one, not even its own members, will be shielded from investigation if wrongdoing is proven.
The Speaker emphasized that the House's process will be fair, fact-based, and adhere to the rule of law.
This stance aligns with President Marcos Jr.'s announcement that the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) will operate independently, even from government officials implicated in projects with faulty or non-existent flood-control programs.
