Singson says he might be a part independent commission
President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. is establishing an Independent Commission on Flood Control to investigate anomalies and ghost projects in flood control projects, granting it subpoena and contempt powers.
The commission will operate independently of the government, with investigators and lawyers, and will not include politicians.
Former Public Works and Highways Secretary Rogelio Singson indicated he might join the commission, stating, "If PBBM thinks I can help, let's see."
Malacañang warned that individuals could face administrative cases and sanctions for not complying with the commission's subpoena.
The commission will work with the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and the Commission on Audit (COA).
House Senior Deputy Minority Leader Edgar Erice urged the commission to investigate everyone implicated, regardless of their position.
