Lacson: Creation of independent body vs infra scam a good move
President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. will create an independent commission to investigate anomalous infrastructure projects under the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).
Presidential spokesperson Claire Castro stated that findings from all executive branch agencies will be submitted to this commission.
Marcos emphasized the need for diverse expertise within the commission, including forensic investigators, lawyers, justices, and prosecutors.
The commission will analyze evidence and recommend actions to the Department of Justice or the Ombudsman for individuals found liable.
Senator Panfilo Lacson lauded the move, calling it a "good move" and expressing readiness to assist the commission.
Mayor Benjamin Magalong is expected to be part of the commission, which is also considering former DPWH Secretary Rogelio Singson and former PNP chief General Nicolas Torre III for membership.
