Castro: Marcos won’t intervene in probe despite mention of Malacañang
President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. will not interfere in the ongoing investigation into alleged anomalous flood-control projects, despite mentions of Malacañang and Leyte Rep. Martin Romualdez.
Palace Press Officer Undersecretary Atty. Claire Castro confirmed the President's stance, emphasizing that any accusations must be proven.
Castro stated that the creation of an independent commission aims to ensure the freedom and impartiality of the investigation process.
This stance applies regardless of relationship, meaning anyone implicated, including relatives, allies, cousins, or siblings, will be investigated if necessary.
Castro also maintained that Marcos is blameless as his name has not been directly mentioned in the ongoing probes.
