Background

President Bongbong Marcos stated that the commission would operate independently and would not include politicians, as its investigation is primarily technical in nature. The ICI functions as an "investigative arm" of the administration, tasked with reviewing tips and complaints related to flood control and infrastructure projects.

Its creation followed public concerns over alleged corruption in Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) projects, including flood control initiatives. The establishment of the ICI is part of Marcos' broader anti-corruption campaign, which he highlighted during his fourth State of the Nation Address in July 2025 and in subsequent congressional inquiries.

Mandate and powers

The ICI is authorized to:^[4]

• Investigate flood control and other infrastructure projects implemented in the last decade.

• Recommend to the Department of Justice (DOJ) the admission of witnesses into the Witness Protection, Security, and Benefit Program.
• Recommend to the Executive the filing of complaints with the Office of the Ombudsman or DOJ based on its findings.

Failure to comply with the commission's directives may result in administrative or criminal liability, depending on whether the individual is a government official or a private citizen.
