Lacson backs expanded ICI mandate for all infra projects

Senate President Pro Tempore Panfilo "Ping" Lacson supports the expanded mandate of the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) to oversee all government infrastructure projects, not just flood control.

Lacson believes this broadened scope will promote transparency and accountability in the execution of government-funded infrastructure programs.

He also hopes the sumbongsapangulo.ph website will be updated to cover all infrastructure projects, not just flood control.

Lacson suggests enhancing the website with data on funding for all infrastructure projects across agencies, from the National Expenditure Program to the General Appropriations Act.

He also wants details on congressional amendments or insertions and the identities of proponents.

Lacson added that the website should also include geotagging.
