Board Member John Dave Ablat said this will ensure transparency, accountability, and proper use of public funds.

Ablat filed Proposed Resolution No. 229 seeking to conduct an inquiry in aid of legislation to scrutinize ongoing and completed infrastructure initiatives in the province.

The resolution pointed out the importance of ensuring that these projects are free from corruption and irregularities, aligning with the national government's push for a clean and effective public service.
