ICI takes Co videos with grain of salt
The Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) is verifying claims made by former Rep. Elizaldy S. Co against President Marcos and other officials.
ICI Executive Director Brian Keith F. Hosaka stated that videos posted by Co on social media will not be considered actionable evidence unless formally verified or submitted under oath.
Hosaka emphasized that the commission only considers evidence that is sworn, verified, or legally admissible, noting that Co's disclosures have garnered public attention but have limited evidentiary value without a sworn affidavit.
He explained that videos must be untampered, continuous, and validated by the recorder to have any official weight, and that such clips are taken with a grain of salt.
Hosaka added that it may be difficult to submit these videos as evidence in courts unless other verified and strong evidence is submitted alongside them.
