Another commissioner from the Independent Commission on Infrastructure (ICI) will be leaving the agency.
In a statement released on Friday morning, commissioner Rossana A. Fajardo said she tendered her courtesy resignation, effective 31 December 2025.
“I have completed the work I set out to accomplish when I was appointed, ensuring that the foundational goals of the Commission have been met,” the statement read.
Fajardo, however, reiterated that investigative and prosecutorial responsibilities should be handled by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Office of the Ombudsman, which she said are “positioned to ensure accountability for contractors and government officials.”
The commissioner also cited the creation of the Independent Commission Against Infrastructure Corruption and the Independent People’s Commission, which she said share the same objective of probing government infrastructure projects.
Prior to her appointment as one of the commissioners of the ICI last September, Fajardo was a certified public accountant with experience in internal controls and risk management.
Fajardo is the third official to leave the commission, following the resignations of former special adviser Benjamin Magalong, who stepped down on 26 September 2025, and commissioner Rogelio Singson, who announced his departure three weeks ago.
The fact-finding body, tasked with investigating corruption and other irregularities linked to the anomalous flood control projects and related issues, was established by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on 11 September 2025.
Heading into next year, only three officials remain in the agency: chairman Andres Reyes Jr., special adviser Rodolfo Azurin Jr., and executive director Brian Keith Hosaka.
