Manila Bulletin
|September 20, 2025
Recognizing the need to ensure the safety of the investigating panel, the Philippine National Police (PNP) announced on Friday, Sept. 19, that it is ready to deploy uniformed personnel to meet the immediate security needs of the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) as it begins probing reported anomalies in the flood control projects of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).
Lt. Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr., acting PNP chief, said the police force’s proactive preparations for the ICI’s security requirements were meant to help “ferret out the truth about the flood control projects across the country.”
“We, in the PNP, support the public call for transparency and accountability in this particular issue that was exposed by no less than the President, our Commander-in-Chief," Nartatez said. "And we are also ready to expand the security coverage to all members of the Independent Commission for Infrastructure because of the sensitivity of the task entrusted to them."
