00:00Sir, sir, meron kasi si Congressman Terry Redon kanina. He said that he would refer some projects to the ICI, Davao Occidental, and Davao City projects, sir, that are uncompleted, poorly situated, maybe ghost projects.
00:22If he refers it to the ICI, ano po yung mag-
00:26Well, of course, atanggapin namin yan, no? And it will be part of our investigation and our review.
00:31So, we would welcome any information with regard to our mandate, which is to investigate anomalous flood control projects at the same time, other infrastructure projects.
00:42So, we will not discriminate as long as we get the information and complete documentation, then we will look at it.

00:53Pardon me again?
00:54Sibu.

01:05Hindi po mag-mumoto ang ICI?
01:09Depends on the information. Right now, we're still completing our staffing.
01:14Importante sa amin yun, no? But rest assured, once we are more capacitated, we will look into these anomalous flood control projects and infrastructure projects.
01:24But in the meantime, any submission or information or data given to us will be welcome. And we will look at them once we have the capacity to do so.
01:35Okay. Which we will, which we will, which will be soon, which will be soon.
01:38So, the speaker said, zero minutes dapat sa approval, not ICI, ICDIS.
01:43ICI.
01:44Ah, okay.
01:45So, comment on that. Oh, yes. Okay. We welcome that. Any other additional powers granted to the ICI or this time with the creation of a new commission would be welcome because it will make our, make the task more efficient and faster.
02:03Sir, are you also going to consider ninyong sinasabi?
02:33Well, the same reply, kung saan naman ang ebedensya, kung meron man magbigay sa amin ng information, and then when the time comes that we are able to address all those, then we will investigate.
