BIZ BUZZ: Changes in DOTr
As he takes this role, Dizon said that the DOTr would see some changes in key positions as well, saying that some undersecretaries will be replaced while others will remain.
Dizon has not disclosed anything yet ahead of the official announcement.
However, a source has already confirmed that DOTr Undersecretary for Railways Jeremy Regino tendered his resignation effective Feb. 21.
A source also said that Timothy John Batan, who is the DOTr Undersecretary for Planning and Project Development, is concurrently serving Regino’s vacated post at an OIC capacity.
But there is some chatter that Batan will be permanently moved to the railway sector. This move seems logical given Batan’s experience of having previously served as an undersecretary for railways.
These are just two posts, however. We have yet to see what will happen for the aviation, road and maritime sectors.
