Sotto seeks urgent passage of Independent People’s Commission bill
Senate President Vicente "Tito" Sotto III is pushing for the certification of Senate Bill 1215, the Independent People's Commission (IPC) bill, as urgent to make it a permanent law.
Sotto aims to institutionalize oversight mechanisms through the IPC, ensuring that its functions will continue beyond the current administration's executive order.
The proposed IPC will investigate infrastructure projects not only of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) but also those handled by other agencies like the Department of Agriculture, Department of Health, and Department of Education.
The Senate President emphasized the bill's importance in protecting taxpayers' money and ensuring that public projects effectively serve the people by preventing corruption across various sectors.
