00:01The Independent Commission on Infrastructure, or ICI, says it would begin live-streaming its proceedings beginning next week.
00:08ICI Chairman Andres Reyes announces this during a Senate inquiry led by Justice Committee Chairman Sen. Kiko Pangilinan.
00:14We will now go on live-stream next week once we get to be able to have the technical capability with us already.
00:26The ICI's decision to stream its hearings is a welcome development.
00:31Before this, its policy not to live-stream hearings drew criticism from transparency advocates and some lawmakers.
00:38The ICI met behind closed doors since it was created on September 11.
00:43Media access is limited to press releases and briefings by the ICI spokesperson.
00:47Journalists are not allowed to conduct ambush interviews with members of the Commission.
