Commissioner Rossana Fajardo has resigned from the Independent Commission for Infrastructure effective Dec. 31, leaving its chairman as the lone ICI commissioner threshing out massive flood control anomalies.

Fajardo, the country managing partner at Sycip Gorres Velayo & Co., tendered her courtesy resignation with the belief that she had already performed her duties, just three months since President Marcos appointed her to the job.

“Throughout my tenure, I have developed comprehensive approaches for evidence gathering, prepared detailed work plans and supervised volunteer efforts in investigations. My contributions have led to recommendations aimed at improving government procurement and budgeting processes related to infrastructure projects,” Fajardo said in a statement on Friday.

“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,” she stressed.
