Malacañang is set to review the accomplishment report of the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI), whose operations have been hampered by a lack of quorum after two members resigned. Presidential Communications Undersecretary Claire Castro said the report has been transmitted to the Office of the Executive Secretary for study. There is no information yet on whether President Marcos has spoken with ICI chairman Andres Reyes Jr.
On February 10, 2026, Presidential Communications Undersecretary Claire Castro announced that the Palace will review the ICI's accomplishment report. The Independent Commission for Infrastructure was established last September under Executive Order 94 to investigate infrastructure projects over the past decade. This followed President Marcos's directive to probe corruption leading to substandard or nonexistent flood control projects.
The panel became a one-man operation in December after the resignations of former public works secretary Rogelio Singson and Sycip Gorres Velayo & Co. country managing partner Rossana Fajardo. Andres Reyes Jr. remains the sole commissioner, with former police chief Rodolfo Azurin Jr. serving as special adviser and lawyer Brian Keith Hosaka as executive director.
Last month, the ICI stated it could not resume full operations without restoring a quorum. Azurin noted there is still no guidance from the Office of the President on the commission's duration. Earlier this month, Castro mentioned the ICI could communicate directly with President Marcos about its needs.
Despite limited resources, the ICI reported delivering 'substantial' and 'measurable' results from September 15, 2025, to January 18, 2026: it filed nine referrals with the Office of the Ombudsman, held 32 hearings, conducted 16 site inspections, processed 1,173 documents, and issued 160 investigative communications. Additionally, 6,692 bank accounts were frozen, and assets worth approximately P24.7 billion were preserved, seized, or surrendered.
