Marcos Taps New Public Works Head in Wake of Flood Deals Scandal

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has appointed Vince Dizon as the new head of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) in the Philippines. This move comes after the resignation of the previous DPWH Secretary, Manuel Bonoan, amid controversies surrounding flood-control projects. The change in leadership at the DPWH is seen as a response to the ongoing issues related to the department's handling of flood-control initiatives. The previous administration's approach to these projects has been called into question, leading to Bonoan's departure. Dizon, the new DPWH Secretary, is expected to address these concerns and work to improve the department's transparency and accountability. The appointment is seen as a crucial step in the government's efforts to address the country's infrastructure challenges and better prepare for natural disasters.
