FORMER Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) chief Vivencio “Vince” Dizon was appointed by President Fedinand Marcos Jr. as the next head of the Department of Transportation (DOTr).
Malacañang on Thursday announced the lappointment of Dizon, who will replace DOTr Secretary Jaime Bautista starting Feb. 21.
Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin confirmed the appointment of Dizon.
Bersamin said Dizon is already authorized by the Office of the President to start the transition at the DOTr in coordination with the team of Secretary Jaime Bautista, who has resigned due to health reasons.
As BCDA chief under the Duterte administration, Dizon contributed to the success in the implementation of big-ticket projects under the government’s ambitious “Build, Build, Build” infrastructure program.
Dizon has been in government service for the last 26 years. He served as the former presidential adviser on the flagship program and projects of former president Rodrigo Duterte.
He also served as the deputy chief Implementer of the National Action Plan Against Covid-19, chief testing czar, and the chief coordinator of the Test, Trace, Treat Program.
Dizon was also an assistant professor of Economics at De La Salle University.
