President creates Independent Commission on Infrastructure by Executive Order 94

Executive Order No. 94, signed September 11, 2025, established the Independent Commission on Infrastructure as a body tasked with investigating irregularities in government infrastructure programs, with particular focus on the flood control portfolio under the Department of Public Works and Highways. The ICI was given authority to conduct hearings, take testimony, examine documents, and recommend administrative, civil, and criminal charges to the appropriate agencies. It worked in parallel with the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee's "Philippines Under Water" inquiry and with the Office of the Ombudsman's investigations. Across its operational life the ICI took testimony from former DPWH district engineers Henry Alcantara, Brice Hernandez, and Jaypee Mendoza, from former Undersecretary Roberto Bernardo, and from contractors including the Discayas. Its interim reports, published in 2025, recommended plunder, graft, and bribery charges against multiple legislators and officials. The ICI ceased operations on March 31, 2026, having transferred its evidentiary record and recommendations to the Department of Justice and the Office of the Ombudsman.
