BIZ BUZZ: Aguda thanks BBM

Avatar

When President Marcos ordered the courtesy resignation of his cabinet members last month, Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) Secretary Henry Aguda was one of the first officials to comply.

But, fast forward to this week, Aguda is also one of the officials who were kept in the government’s roster. And for that, the former head of Aboitiz-led Union Digital Bank is thankful.

“I’d like to say ‘thank you’ to the President for allowing me to continue to serve under DICT,” he said in a press briefing on Wednesday in Manila.

Aguda again vowed to fulfill his mandate: to expand internet access to every Filipino with the advent of increased digitalization. This means ramping up digital infrastructure like cell sites, satellite, fiber backbone systems and data centers.
