Malacañang said the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) is now shifting its work toward finalizing reports and turning over documents to the Office of the Ombudsman and other agencies for the next steps in the probe into questioned infrastructure projects.

Presidential Communications Office (PCO) Secretary Dave Gomez said this after ICI commissioner Rossana Fajardo announced her resignation from the body by the end of the year.

In a statement, Gomez said the ICI will continue working and is now preparing to finalize its reports.

“As the Commission continues its work in the coming months, the focus is now on final reports and the proper handover of documents to offices like the Office of the Ombudsman for the next steps,” he said.

According to Gomez, Fajardo has completed her mandate at the ICI after finishing the financial forensic review of funds tied to projects under investigation.

He added that President Marcos expressed appreciation for Fajardo’s contribution, noting that her work forms part of the administration’s broader push for accountability and transparency in government.

“The President thanks Ms. Fajardo for her service and for helping ensure that public funds are properly accounted for,” Gomez said.

“This forms part of the broader effort to make the government more honest, more transparent, and more responsive to the needs of the people,” he added.

Gomez said Fajardo’s role in the ICI was always intended to be temporary and narrowly defined.

“Ms. Fajardo was brought in for a clear financial forensic purpose—to closely review the money linked to the projects under investigation and help trace where public funds went,” he said.

“That work is now finished,” he added.

Gomez said Fajardo’s findings will be incorporated into the ICI’s recommendations and formally transmitted to the appropriate bodies.

“Her full findings will form part of the ICI’s recommendations to the Ombudsman and will also be turned over to the proper government offices, including the Commission on Audit, so the process can move forward,” he said.

President Marcos ordered the creation of the ICI following his fourth State of the Nation Address on July 28, when he exposed alleged corruption in flood control and other infrastructure projects and demanded accountability.

Fajardo is the second of the three commissioners to step down from the ICI. Former Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) secretary Rogelio Singson tendered his resignation last month and lamented how the ICI had “insufficient teeth.”
