PCCI: ICI shows Marcos’ political will to resolve anomalous projects
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. established the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) via Executive Order No. 94 to investigate anomalies in government infrastructure projects, particularly flood control projects, over the past 10 years.
The ICI is a three-member independent ad hoc fact-finding body tasked with investigating and taking action against individuals involved in irregularities and misuse of funds.
Former Public Works Secretary Rogelio Singson, SGV & Co. country managing partner Rossana Fajardo, and Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong have been appointed to the commission.
The commission is empowered to recommend and file civil, administrative, or criminal cases against erring individuals with relevant government bodies.
Business organizations, including the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI), have welcomed the ICI's creation, viewing it as a strong signal of the administration's commitment to addressing anomalies in public works.
The PCCI highlighted the extensive experience of Singson, Fajardo, and Magalong in project management, public procurement, and investigation, respectively.
