Palace says Marcos still confident with ICI

Malacañang said Wednesday the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) still enjoys the trust and confidence of President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr.

At a press briefing, Palace Press Officer Undersecretary Atty. Claire Castro was asked if Marcos is still confident with the ICI even though he is urging the Congress to prioritize the passage of the proposed Independent People’s Commission (IPC) Act.

''Yes,'' Castro said when asked if the President still trusts the independent body.

Two Senate bills proposing the creation of the IPC aim to establish a permanent, independent, and non-partisan commission that would investigate alleged anomalies and corruption in infrastructure projects at the national, local government unit (LGU), and government-owned and -controlled corporation (GOCC) levels. — RSJ, GMA Integrated News
