ICI includes 3 more current, former senators in cases

The Philippine Star

November 14, 2025

The Independent Commission for Infrastructure will recommend charges against "at least" three more incumbent and former senators, ICI chair Andres Reyes Jr. said yesterday, without disclosing their identities.

- BY EJ MACABABBAR

The ICI has already sought plunder and bribery cases against Senators Jinggoy Estrada and Joel Villanueva over the anomalies in Bulacan's first district engineering office.

Asked if the new senators involved are different from Estrada and Villanueva, Reyes said “yes.”

As for congressional representatives, Reyes said it’s “premature” at the moment to divulge their names.

Former DPWH secretary Manuel Bonoan, undersecretaries Roberto Bernardo and Maria Catalina Cabral and six others should face administrative charges for grave misconduct, gross dishonesty, conduct prejudicial to the best interest of the service and violations of the code of conduct for public officers, according to the ICI.

At the heart of this referral is a P74-million riverbank protection structure in Barangay Carillo, Hagonoy, that turned out to be nonexistent.
