Esquibil is new DPWH OIC undersecretary for convergence projects

Engr. Lara Marisse Esquibil has been appointed as the officer-in-charge undersecretary for convergence projects and technical services at the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).

She replaces Arrey Perez, who resigned amid allegations of ties with contractors involved in flood control corruption.

Esquibil, previously the officer-in-charge of the DPWH Bureau of Design, began her career at the DPWH in 2013.

DPWH Secretary Vince Dizon expressed his full trust and confidence in Esquibil, noting she was recommended by former DPWH chiefs Rogelio Singson and Jose de Jesus.

Esquibil accepted the position, driven by a deep love for the country and assurance of support from Secretary Dizon as long as she upholds integrity.
