MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Wednesday (Manila time) said the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) has fulfilled its mandate but he would still like to see “what else they can do” in the coming days.
Speaking with reporters following his address at the Special Plenary Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, Marcos said he is waiting for the panel’s final report.
“Right now, what the ICI is doing is that they are collating all of their findings. They are also writing their final report. I think it’s finished,” he said.
The next step is for the ICI to submit their collated information to the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Office of the Ombudsman, depending on the nature of the case to be filed against parties tagged in the flood control scandal.
“Let us see what else that they can do but for now their brief has already been fulfilled,” the Pr9esident said.
Created in September 2025 through Executive Order (EO) No. 94, the ICI was tasked to investigate, receive, gather, and evaluate evidence, intelligence reports, and information on irregularities in government flood control and infrastructure projects.
