President Rodrigo Duterte has transferred Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) board member Aileen Lizada to the Civil Service Commission (CSC).

Duterte signed Lizada’s appointment paper as ad interim Commissioner of the CSC on November 9. But a copy of Lizada’s appointment was only shared to the media on Thursday.
