President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. named former Supreme Court (SC) spokesperson Brian Keith Hosaka as executive director of the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI), Malacañang announced Wednesday.
In a transmittal letter dated September 24, addressed to ICI Chairperson Andres Reyes, Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin confirmed the presidential appointment and directed the commission to formally notify Hosaka of his new post.
Hosaka, a lawyer, previously served as commissioner of the Governance Commission for Government-Owned or -Controlled Corporations (GCG)—a position he assumed in 2023 after leaving the SC.
The ICI, created under Executive Order No. 94 earlier this month, is investigating alleged irregularities and corruption in flood control and public works projects spanning the last decade.
The commission is composed of Reyes, a retired SC associate justice; former Public Works Secretary Rogelio Singson; and SGV & Co. executive Rossana Fajardo. Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong serves as special adviser and lead investigator.
As executive director, Hosaka will manage the commission’s day-to-day operations and support its investigative work, including drafting reports and coordinating with oversight agencies.
Malacañang said Hosaka’s appointment underscores the administration’s commitment to strengthening accountability and public trust in infrastructure spending.
The ICI will function independently from government agencies involved in project implementation to ensure impartial investigations and protect taxpayer money.
