MANILA – Malacañang on Monday said it was still reviewing the accomplishment report submitted by the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) while President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. considers the panel’s next steps.
Palace Press Officer Claire Castro said the report has been transmitted to the Office of the Executive Secretary and is currently under study.
“Sa ngayon po ay naibigay na po sa Office of the Executive Secretary at sa ngayon po ay aaralin pa po (For now, it has already been given to the Office of the Executive Secretary and it is still being studied),” Castro said at a Palace press briefing.
Castro did not confirm whether Marcos has read the report or whether there had been formal communication between the President and ICI Chairperson Andres Reyes Jr. following the submission on Feb. 6.
The ICI’s 125-day accomplishment report, covering the period Sept. 15, 2025 to Jan. 18, 2026, cited “substantial and measurable results” despite limited manpower and resources.
According to the commission, it filed nine referrals with the Office of the Ombudsman involving 65 individuals, and coordinated referrals of 66 more individuals with the Department of Justice for the possible issuance of Immigration Lookout Bulletin Orders.
The ICI conducted 32 hearings involving 36 witnesses, including 25 prominent personalities composed of seven senators, 13 members of the House of Representatives and five agency heads.
It also carried out 16 site inspections nationwide, processed 1,173 documents, and issued 160 investigative communications, including subpoenas.
Based on reports from the Anti-Money Laundering Council, the commission said it contributed to the freezing of 6,692 bank accounts and the preservation or seizure of assets valued at an estimated PHP 24.7 billion, including vehicles, real properties, aircraft, insurance policies and electronic wallet accounts.
Marcos created the ICI through Executive Order No. 94, signed on Sept. 11, 2025, to investigate alleged corruption and misuse of funds in flood control projects.
Malacañang earlier said the President would decide on the commission’s future, including possible appointments of new members, after reviewing the report.
