ICI operations to end on March 31

Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) Chairperson Andres Reyes Jr., has recommended winding down the commission’s operations after six months since it was created.

Reyes said the commission’s operations will end on March 31, 2026. He said that the commission is currently completing the necessary administrative processes related to its wind-down. See the full statement of Reyes below: @here

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. recently said ICI is done with “much of their work.”

“And the next part of this process is that they will send those — the information, they will send it to DOJ and the Ombudsman, depending on which is the appropriate body,” he said.

“Now, what will happen afterwards is, let us see what else that they can do but for now their brief has already been fulfilled,” the President added. RELATED: https://www.rappler.com/philippines/marcos-manila-coordination-portugal-zaldy-co-return/

ICI Chairperson Andres Reyes is currently here in the Office of the Ombudsman. It has turned over "all documents, evidence, and findings gathered in the course of its investigation, as previously reported in the Commission’s 125-Day Report submitted to the Office of the President on February 6, 2026."
