MANILA, Philippines – President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Monday reiterated that no one, not even members of his family or political allies, will be spared once the Independent Commission on Infrastructure (ICI) starts its probe on anomalous flood control and other infrastructure projects.
“They will not be spared,” Marcos said in a press conference in Malacañang.
He added that no one will believe in the government’s efforts to get rid of corruption unless those behind the systemic problem are unmasked and made accountable.
The President’s cousin, House Speaker Martin Romualdez, and Ako Bicol Party-list Representative Zaldy Co are among the lawmakers linked to the alleged massive corruption surrounding anomalous and ghost flood control projects.
“There’s only one way to do it. They will not be spared. We do not take sides. We are not biased. No one will believe what we are doing until we actually do it, and so we will,” Marcos said.
