VP Sara, Palace clash over ICI's integrity, purpose
Manila Bulletin
|October 20, 2025
With Vice President Sara Duterte assailing the creation of the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI), Malacañang was quick to fire back, saying that her comments were an insult to the integrity and expertise of the ICI officials leading the anti-corruption probe.
Speaking on the sidelines of her visit to the Basilica Minore of Our Lady of Manaoag in Pangasinan on Saturday, Oct. 18, Duterte said the ICI was only created to allow President Marcos to control the narrative and legitimize its report despite questionable findings.
"Hindi ko alam bakit meron pang investigation ang ICI. Kasi napakadali naman nun. Ilang milyon ang confidential funds ng Office of the President (I don't know why there was an investigation by the ICI. Because it is so easy. How many millions are the confidential funds of the President)?" she asked.
