The Independent Commission on Infrastructure (ICI) will hold hearings from December 2-5, involving lawmakers linked to the controversy. Paolo Duterte and Ferdinand 'Sandro' Marcos have dismissed the claims as fantastical and a destabilization plot. Other lawmakers, Benjamin Agarao, Eric Yap, and Danilo Domingo, have also denied any wrongdoing. The officials are scheduled to appear as resource persons to clarify the implementation and validation of flood control projects in their respective districts.
