DOTr chief’s confirmation hearing set
Newly appointed Department of Transportation (DoTr) Secretary Vivencio "Vince" Dizon II is anticipated to secure confirmation from the Commission on Appointments (CA) when he appears before its Committee on Transportation on June 3.
The CA's Committee on Transportation has scheduled the hearing to evaluate Secretary Dizon's ad interim appointment, with Congress set to resume sessions on June 2.
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. designated Dizon as the new DoTr Secretary on February 21, succeeding Jaime Bautista who stepped down due to health concerns.
Prior to his current role, Dizon held positions as Presidential Adviser on Flagship Programs and Projects and led the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) during the Duterte administration.
The 25-member Commission on Appointments, comprising members from both the House of Representatives and the Senate, is responsible for confirming key presidential appointments based on merit and integrity.
