Marcos impeachment backer among alleged ‘cong-tractors’MANILA, Philippines — The lawmaker who endorsed the very first impeachment complaint against President Marcos is one of eight “cong-tractors” against whom the Independent Commission for Infrastructure has sought charges in relation to the flood control scam. The referral stems from their involvement with contracting firms that secured DPWH contracts while holding a seat in Congress. Among the targeted “cong-tractors” is Rep. Jernie Jett Nisay of Pusong Pinoy Party-list, who has been in the House since 2022 and is part of the minority bloc. JVN bagged two contracts in 2021 worth P24.75 million and one in 2022 worth P49 million, based on the joint referral. The group described ICI’s inaction as a “sin of omission” that ignored claims of Marcos’ accountability for large-scale corruption.
