THE Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) said Friday it has submitted a 125-day report to the Office of the President.
The ICI is an ad hoc fact-finding body established by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. through Executive Order 94 (2025). Its primary mission is to investigate alleged corruption, mismanagement, and the misuse of public funds in government infrastructure, specifically prioritizing flood control projects implemented over the last 10 years.
In a statement, the ICI detailed its accomplishments and activities from the start of its operations on Sept. 15, 2025, to Jan. 18, 2026.
These, the commission said, included the submission of nine referrals to the Office of the Ombudsman covering 65 individuals, and the coordination of the referral of another 66 individuals to the Department of Justice for the issuance of Immigration Lookout Bulletin Orders.
The ICI said it also conducted 32 hearings, covering 36 witnesses and logging approximately 44 hours of proceedings.
"The commission’s hearings and proceedings involved 25 notable personalities, consisting of seven senators, 13 members of the House of Representatives, and five agency heads," the ICI said. "To validate findings on the ground, the ICI carried out a total of 16 site inspections covering multiple regions." The ICI said it also processed 1,173 documents and issued 160 investigative communications in the form of invitations and subpoenas.
"Through sustained inter-agency coordination, the commission contributed to the freezing of 6,692 bank accounts and the preservation, seizure or surrender of assets with an estimated total value of P24.7 billion," the ICI said.
According to the report, these assets include 229 motor vehicles, 394 insurance policies, 161 real properties, 16 e-wallet accounts, 10 air assets, and other properties, based on a report from the Anti-Money Laundering Council.
The ICI said it also led or participated in eight inter-agency coordination meetings, assisted in six legislative sessions aimed at institutionalizing a permanent commission for the investigation of anomalous infrastructure projects, and submitted two position papers to Congress.
The commission said it further issued 146 formal letters and issuances, including 55 letters of data request, seven letters of recommendation, two letters requesting ILBO issuance, 76 resolutions, and five memoranda of agreement or understanding with key partner institutions.
In support of transparency and public accountability, the commission said it published livestreaming guidelines for its proceedings.
The commission said it also participated in 67 media engagements, totaling approximately 18 hours of interviews, briefings and public communications.
