Año named new DILG OIC, Cuy to head DDB

From the Philippine News Agency (Jan 5): Año named new DILG OIC, Cuy to head DDB

President Rodrigo Roa Duterte has formally appointed former Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Chief of Staff General Eduardo Año as the new officer-in-charge (OIC) of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG).

During the retirement of Año in October last year, the President announced the forthcoming appointment of the former AFP chief of staff as head of the DILG.

However, Año would still remain as undersecretary and OIC at the DILG for a period of one year after his retirement from military service.

The appointment paper of Año was signed by President Duterte on Jan. 4, 2018.

Meanwhile, Duterte appointed DILG officer-in-charge Catalino Cuy as chairman of the Dangerous Drugs Board (DDB).

Cuy replaces former DDB chairman Dionisio Santiago, who was dismissed by the President for travels abroad and commenting against the mega-drug rehabilitation facility in Nueva Ecija.

The President signed the appointment paper of Cuy also on Jan. 4, 2018.
