Poe, Ramos eyed as next DICT chief
Senator Grace Poe and Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC) executive director Alexander Ramos are reportedly being considered for the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) post following the resignation of Ivan John Uy.
Poe's Senate term ends in June, and she chairs the Senate committee on public services.
Malacañang has not yet confirmed an Officer-in-Charge (OIC) for the DICT, but an interim official will be appointed to oversee operations.
Uy's resignation is the third cabinet departure this year, following former Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista and Presidential Communications Office Secretary Cesar Chavez.
The DICT assures no service disruptions during the transition and anticipates the OIC will continue President Marcos's digitalization vision.
