PBBM: Lawmakers shouldn't recuse from flood control probe

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. stated that lawmakers should not recuse themselves from the ongoing congressional investigations into alleged anomalies in flood control projects.

Marcos believes that no one involved in the anomalies would admit their participation, making recusal impractical.

He emphasized that the executive branch has no authority over the legislative branch's internal proceedings and investigations.

The President affirmed that he is amenable to Congress investigating the alleged ghost and substandard flood control projects as it falls within their prerogative.

Marcos acknowledged that some lawmakers have been linked to the controversies surrounding these projects.
