Antonio Tinio said the ICI should also look into infrastructure projects in the 1st District under Rep.

Tapos may mga nakita rin tayo na mga incomplete pa rin kahit 2020 or 2022 pa inaward… Sa tingin natin dapat i-check ‘to ng ICI. These are along the Davao River and Matina River - all of them ay nasa 1st District,” Tinio said.</p><p>Tinio believes out of the 80 infrastructure projects, majority were congressional insertions.</p><p>“Dun sa 80, mahigit kumulang sa kalahati ay insertions - ibig sabihin, wala sa NEP pero naipasok sa GAA. Kailangan kasama sa imbestigasyon yung role ng kongresista sa distritong yun, you know that time that was Rep. Pulong Duterte,” according to Tinio.</p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/news/business/2025/8/21/p200-b-last-minute-insertions-in-2025-budget-group-1045">P200-B last minute insertions in 2025 budget - group</a></div><p>Some of the contractors of these projects, according to Tinio, include Genesis 88, which he said is the biggest contractor in Davao owned by former adviser of then President Rodrigo Duterte and one of the biggest campaign donor of Vice President Sarah Duterte in 2022.</p><p>The younger Duterte is expected to appear before the ICI anytime this week as he was invited by the commission as one of its resources persons.</p>
