The Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) has lauded the performance and accomplishments of former Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) Undersecretary Jose Vicente Salazar in public service, saying he lived up to the ideals of the organization in his various stints. In a resolution, the IBP cited Salazar’s commitment to the organization’s “pursuit of the highest ideals of integrity and excellence in the service of the nation.” “He (Salazar) likewise espoused these ideals as he took on several major appointive positions in government,” the IBP said. The IBP issued the resolution following Salazar’s irrevocable resignation from his post as DITC undersecretary in December last year to attend to urgent family concerns. Salazar served as national president of the IBP from 2005-2007. He also served as justice undersecretary from 2007 to 2015.
