PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. indicated on Friday that the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) is nearing the completion of its work, suggesting its future is uncertain.
Marcos stated that the decision to appoint new commissioners will hinge on the remaining workload of the superbody.
Speaking to reporters in Mandaluyong City, Marcos addressed questions about the next steps for the ICI, which currently has only one commissioner.
He explained that the commission’s fate depends on the amount of work left to be done. “If their work is finished, we will see what they can do next,” he said, implying that the ICI may not continue in its current form.
Marcos elaborated that the ICI is “really coming toward the end,” suggesting that the bulk of its investigations have been completed.
“Everything that needed to be investigated has already been investigated—maybe there are one or two other loose ends that they have to clear up,” he added. The President also noted that no decision has been made regarding the appointment of new commissioners, further fueling speculation about the ICI’s future.
