00:00The resignation of Rogelio Singson as Commissioner of the Independent Commission for Infrastructure

00:06has sparked disappointment among several Senators who are now calling for stronger measures to ensure accountability in infrastructure projects.

00:15Our Luisa Erisbe narrates the story.

00:20Several Senators could not hide their dismay over the resignation of Rogelio Babe Singson

00:26as Commissioner of the Independent Commission for Infrastructure or ICI.

00:30Like Sen. Erwin Tufo, who believes Singson is a great loss to the investigation.

00:36He hopes that there will be someone as credible as Singson

00:39who can replace him to investigate the flood control anomalies thoroughly.

00:43But Sen. Erwin Tufo said he does not believe that the resignation of Singson means that the ICI is now dead.

01:10However, he believes that to gain the public trust, public hearings should be done instead of executive sessions.

01:27The resignation of Singson also triggered the pursuit of Senators to pass the Independent People's Commission bill.

01:34According to Sen. President Vicente Soto III, this will give more teeth to the ICI as an investigative body.

01:41We're giving more powers and more teeth to the IPC, which will not be confined to its infrastructure.

01:49It will also be able to investigate other anomalies in any other departments of government.

01:56This is also with Sen. Francis Pangilina na eyes to pass immediately.

02:01Ang pag-resign ni SecBabes is, I think, all the more, dapat talagang isulong itong IPC.

02:13Kasi nga, siya mismo nga nagsasabi na kulang ang kapangyarihan, resources,

02:21ang pondo ng ICI para magampanan yung hinihingi sa kanyang tabaho.

02:32Meanwhile, Sen. President Soto leaves it up to the Ombudsman to conduct an investigation on some of his fellow Senators.

02:40But Sen. Lito Lapid, in a rare statement, said he wishes that the allegations are all false.

02:46Ay, nalulungkot naman ako, Sen. Kasamaan natin yan.

02:50Loading.

02:50Ah, diba? Loading.

02:51Loading.

02:52Loading.

02:52Yung mga nadadawid po kayo sa flood control, Sen.

02:54Sana hindi totoo.

02:55Ah, kinakalungkot ko, Sen. Kanyigan natin yan. Kasamaan natin dito yan.

02:59Sana mapatunay na hindi totoo.
