ICI case review confirms baseless, unsupported claims – Mark Villar
Senator Mark Villar welcomed the Independent Commission on Infrastructure's (ICI) recommendation to forward his case to the Office of the Ombudsman regarding flood control anomalies.
Villar stated that the ICI's decision reaffirms his belief that the allegations against him are baseless and unsupported by any evidence.
He expressed confidence that a fair and impartial investigation by the Ombudsman will dispel the false allegations and bring the truth to light.
Villar assured his full cooperation with the Ombudsman's investigation.
He also maintained that he has always conducted himself with integrity and that his track record as a former Public Works Secretary will speak for itself.
The ICI also recommended further investigation into the alleged involvement of Senators Francis "Chiz" Escudero and former Senators Nancy Binay and Grace Poe in anomalous flood control projects.
