The Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) has officially suspended its operations following the resignation of two key commissioners, leaving the body without the quorum required to take official action.
Under Executive Order No. 94, issued by President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. in September 2025, the ICI must have a majority of its three-member panel—consisting of a chairperson and two commissioners—to approve any official acts.
With both commissioner seats now vacant, the agency confirmed in a statement Friday that it cannot resume operations until new appointments are made.
“Following the resignation of its two commissioners, the Commission is unable to resume its official operations until a quorum is restored,” the ICI statement read.
Despite the current paralysis, the ICI noted that it had achieved significant milestones prior to the resignations.
The commission announced it is preparing a comprehensive report detailing these accomplishments, which will be submitted to the Office of the President.
The body was established to oversee and streamline infrastructure standards and projects, but its functions will remain on hold until Malacañang fills the leadership vacuum.
