Malacañang has named the chiefs of the Department of Transportation’s (DOTr) line agencies, the department said on Wednesday.
In a news statement, the agency said Transportation Secretary Jaime J. Bautista swore the new heads of the Manila International Airport Authority (Miaa), Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (Caap), Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB), Office for Transportation Security (OTS), and Maritime Industry Authority (Marina).
Miaa and the Caap will be led by two former PAL Express executives.
Cesar Chiong was appointed as the acting general manager of the Miaa, while Manuel Antonio Tamayo and Edgardo Diaz were sworn in as co-deputy director general of the Caap.
Tamayo, who also served the DOTr during the term of former President Duterte, was appointed as the Acting Director General, making him one rank higher than Diaz.
Carmelo Arcilla, who has been with the CAB for decades now, will remain as the agency’s executive director despite his retirement.
Retired police major general Ma. O. Ranada Aplasca will lead the OTS, while lawyer Hernani Nieves Fabia has been appointed as the chief of the Marina.
