|November 14, 2025
It will be an unhappy Christmas for those involved in the flood control corruption mess, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said on Thursday, November 13.
-
During the press conference, Marcos recounted a timeline of all the actions taken against individuals implicated in the flood control anomalies, which include various cases.
Most significantly, Marcos cited the first batch of cases transmitted to the Ombudsman by the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) against 37 lawmakers, officials and contractors.
While Marcos did not explicitly state these names during his press conference, Sens. Joel Villanueva and Jinggoy Estrada, as well as former congressman Zaldy Co, are among the 37 included in the ICI’s referrals.
