Ito bang pagmamatigas ng ICI, ito rin ba ang gusto ng Pangulo?

If he is one with the clamor for transparency, we call on the President to urge the ICI—created through his Executive Order No. 94—to livestream its hearings.

A fact-finding body like the ICI, dealing with matters of such importance must be transparent and open. People need to know what’s happening to allay fears and dispel any suspicion of a potential cover-up or whitewash.

With the House Infra Comm joint inquiry already suspended, and no hearing yet scheduled by the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee, Filipinos are eager to know the current status and the pacing of the investigation.

Kaya nga binuo ang ICI dahil sa kagustuhan ng publiko na malaman ang buong katotohanan, tapos isisikreto lang nila ang pagdinig. Para naman tayong naglolokohan. Nakapanggagalaiti na.

Aside from transparency, the ICI urgently needs greater power. That’s exactly why we have been pushing, along with the co-authors of House Bill No. 4453, to complement it and make it stronger.

We are wondering: What’s taking the House leadership so long to act on it? And why hasn’t the President certified it as urgent?
