DICT chief Ivan Uy resigns, Marcos accepts –Palace

Information and Communications Technology Secretary Ivan John Uy has resigned and President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. has accepted his resignation, Malacañang announced on Thursday.

“DICT Secretary Ivan John Uy's resignation was accepted by the President today,” Castro told Palace reporters. 

“An OIC will fill the position until the President appoints a secretary,” she added.

Erstwhile Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista resigned in February due to health reasons. He has since been replaced by the new transportation chief Vince Dizon.

Presidential Communications Office Secretary Cesar Chavez also resigned last month and has been replaced by ad interim PCO secretary Jay Ruiz.

As an incoming secretary in June 2022, Uy said he was told by then-President-elect Marcos to bring connectivity to far-flung areas and give these communities access to technology. –NB, GMA Integrated News
