No evidence speaks for itselfPublic investigations often leave two separate trails: the political narrative that circulates widely and the documented findings that remain in the official record. Instead, the committee will recommend the continued gathering of evidence against Romualdez in relation to his alleged links to the flood control controversy. Instead, the committee operates under a lower standard of evidence, namely, substantial evidence or such relevant evidence as a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support a conclusion. On the other hand, the committee recommended the conduct of a PI against incumbent senators Francis Escudero, Jinggoy Estrada and Joel Villanueva. Some people may not agree with the conclusions of the ICI and the Blue Ribbon Committee.
