ICI stands on its own — Palace
Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) Executive Minister Eduardo Manalo urged the Senate and the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) to conduct public hearings on anomalies within flood control projects to ensure accountability and public trust.
Malacañang, through Palace Press Officer Claire Castro, supports the call for transparency in all investigations, aligning with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s stance.
Castro clarified that while President Marcos Jr. desires transparency, the specifics of how the ICI implements it are left to the commission's discretion.
She reiterated the ICI's independence, assuring that the President does not interfere with its work or request updates.
Furthermore, any recommendations made by the ICI will be solely their decision and do not require presidential approval.
