MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. on Wednesday swore in several new officials in government, including Dennis Uy as the new Special Envoy to the Republic of Korea for Digital Transformation.
Other than Uy, officials from the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP), and National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP) took their oath at the Heroes Hall in Malacañan Palace.
“As appointed leaders, your unwavering commitment and even your mere presence daily are crucial to the sectors that you serve, to the performance of your respective mandates. As such, I trust that you will remain models of excellence and integrity, especially to your stakeholders and communities,” said Marcos in his speech.
Uy is a business tycoon based in Pampanga and is the current chief executive officer of Converge.
Marcos said that the new officials have new opportunities to introduce improvement in their respective posts.
“This administration will spare no effort to provide the effort necessary to address the pressing concerns that hinder development in the sectors of our communities under your authority,” said Marcos.
The President also swore in the officers of the Press Photographers of the Philippines, Malacañang Press Corps, Malacañang Cameramen Association, and the Presidential Photojournalists Association in the same ceremony.
