Livestream? Congressmen face ICI behind closed doors
Pasig Rep. Roman Romulo requested a closed-door hearing before the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) due to concerns for his safety and reputation.
The ICI granted separate closed-door hearings for Romulo and Bulacan Rep. Danny Domingo.
Romulo voluntarily appeared before the ICI to clarify his inclusion in an immigration lookout bulletin order request made by the commission.
Romulo is among 17 incumbent and former lawmakers accused of soliciting kickbacks from contractors Sarah and Curlee Discaya.
At a recent Senate Blue Ribbon committee hearing, Curlee Discaya identified Romulo as one of eight personalities in the couple's payoff ledger.
