Sandro Marcos ready to face ICI
House Majority Leader Sandro Marcos has expressed his willingness to appear before the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) to address its investigation into flood control project anomalies.
Marcos stated he is ready to cooperate and appear before the ICI at any time to provide information that could aid their review.
His statement follows allegations by former Ako-Bicol party-list Rep. Elizaldy Co, who linked Marcos to alleged insertions in the 2025 national budget concerning flood control projects.
Co also accused President Marcos of ordering budget insertions.
Sandro Marcos, however, described Co's allegations as part of a destabilization attempt against the government.
