(Eagle News) — President Rodrigo Duterte has named acting secretaries in two departments.
Based on documents released by Malacanang on Thursday, May 10, Eliseo Rio Jr. is now the acting secretary of the Department of Information and Communications Technology.
Rio was the officer-in-charge of the DICT after DICT Secretary Rodolfo Salalima resigned last year.
Social Welfare Undersecretary for Special Concerns Virginia Orogo was also named acting secretary of the Department of Social Welfare and Development.
She replaced Emmanuel Leyco, who was the officer in charge when Judy Taguiwalo’s appointment as Social Welfare Secretary was rejected by the Commission on Appointments.
