The President will likely finish reviewing the nearly 1,000-page report submitted by the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) about their investigation into the anomalous flood control projects this February, the Palace announced on Friday.

However, Palace Press Officer Claire Castro could not say for sure whether President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. will soon be issuing a decision regarding the ICI’s future, amid talks of its termination.

Castro explained that President Marcos still needs to examine the entire report, which will allow him to issue a just and sound decision.

“Itong buwan po ng Pebrero ay malalaman na po natin, sa ating pagkakaalam. Pero hindi ko po sinasabi na ito na mismo po ang magiging hudyat kung ano ang magiging desisyon ng Pangulo, sa akin lamang pong pagkakaalam, most probably by February ay mayroon na po,” Castro said during a press conference at the Malacañang.

“At kailangan pong aralin, busisiing mabuti, hindi po kasi ito basta parang nobela lamang na babasahin at magkakaroon na agad ng reaksiyon. So, kailangan pong araling mabuti para po maging rasonable at tama ang magiging desisyon po ng Pangulo,” she also said.

At present, Marcos and ICI Chairman Andres Reyes have yet to speak in person, the palace official said, although work at the ICI is still ongoing.

She added that the commission has submitted numerous recommendations to the Department of Justice and the Office of the Ombudsman, the progress of which—now filed as cases before the Sandiganbayan—can be tracked by the public.

On February 6, the independent probe body submitted to the Office of the President its report detailing its activities and accomplishments within five months, which includes nine referrals, covering 65 individuals, and another set of 66 individuals to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for the issuance of Immigration Lookout Bulletin Orders (ILBOs).
