The Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) has formally suspended its official operations after losing the required quorum following the resignation of two of its commissioners, according to a press release issued on Friday, January 16.

The ICI confirmed that the resignations of Commissioners Rogelio Singson on December 15, 2025, and Rossana Fajardo on December 31, 2025, have left Chairperson Justice Andres Reyes Jr. as the commission’s sole remaining member. Under Executive Order No. 94, the commission is composed of a chairperson and two members and may act only with majority approval.

“Consequently, following the resignation of its two commissioners, the Commission is unable to resume its official operations until a quorum is restored,” the ICI said in its statement.

Despite the operational halt, the commission reported significant accomplishments prior to the resignations. As of December 26, 2025, the ICI had filed eight referrals with the Office of the Ombudsman involving nearly 100 individuals, leading to the filing of three cases and the arrest of 16 persons. The commission also said it helped freeze more than ₱20 billion in assets through coordination with the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) and other government agencies.

The ICI added that its accomplishments and reform recommendations will be consolidated in a report covering its work from September 11 to December 31, 2025, which will be submitted to the Office of the President (OP). In the meantime, the commission said it continues to “process, organize, document, and safeguard all records and evidence in its custody” while awaiting further action to restore its membership.
