House Majority Leader Ferdinand Alexander “Sandro” Marcos said Thursday that he sent a letter to the Independent Commission on Infrastructure (ICI) offering to appear at any time to assist in its investigation, following allegations linking him to P50.9 billion in budget insertions.

Former Ako Bicol Representative Elizaldy “Zaldy” Co alleged in a video that Marcos was responsible for P9.636 billion in 2023, P20.174 billion in 2024, and P21.127 billion in 2025, totaling P50.938 billion.

“Regardless of position and who you are, no one is above the law. Given that I have nothing to hide, I hereby submit myself for investigation by the ICI at their earliest convenience,” Marcos said.

In his letter to ICI Chairperson Andres Reyes Jr., Marcos said he is ready to cooperate, answer questions, and provide clarification to move the investigation forward. He emphasized that the commission may schedule him at their discretion.

ICI Executive Director Brian Hosaka said the commission will decide when to summon Marcos. He noted that because Marcos did not request an executive session in his letter, the hearing could be livestreamed.

Marcos has denied Co’s allegations, calling them “fantastical and false” and describing Co as a “criminal evading justice” whose goal is to undermine the administration.

Meanwhile, Civic leader and chairman Emeritus Dr. Jose Antonio Goitia also noted that the videos of Co follow the same pattern of serious claims but no evidence offered publicly to support them.

“Accusations without proof are not whistleblowing. They are distractions, and distractions become dangerous when the public is fed with misinformation,” he stated.

“Anyone who claims to hold the truth should be willing to face the law. Real testimony is given before institutions, not in videos filmed from hiding,” he added.

Goitia also noted that Co’s statement on the first family will not stand without presenting documents.

“Truth does not hide from scrutiny. Until evidence is shown under oath, these remain stories, not facts,’ he explained.

“Without proof and contradicted by official statements, Co’s new claims–even those involving the President, the First Lady, and Sandro Marcos—end up exactly where his earlier accusations did: Noises without evidence,” he added.
