BIZ BUZZ: Red carpet to roll out for new DICT chief
March 26, 2025

The new secretary of the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), Henry Aguda, may finally start his term this week—and we heard that a warm reception awaits him.
Biz Buzz learned that officials were “optimistic” with what could Aguda bring to the table, especially at a time when the government is ramping up efforts to beef up internet connectivity.
Aguda, who was named as DICT chief just last week, previously served as president of UnionDigital Bank. He was also board chair of City Savings Bank and UBX Philippines.
Apart from these, Aguda was also engaged in the telecommunication and technology industries.
Aguda replaced Ivan John Uy, who tendered his resignation this month after three years of service.
