MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. wants the independent commission that would investigate irregularities in flood control projects to have subpoena power, Malacañang said Thursday.
Palace Press Officer Claire Castro said Malacañang was finalizing an executive order creating the commission with the authority to issue subpoenas or summon individuals involved in order to carry out the probe effectively.
