President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has appointed Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon as the new Secretary of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) following the resignation of beleaguered public works secretary Manuel Bonoan amid the flood control projects scandal.

Marcos accepted the resignation of Bonoan, according to a statement from Malacañang on Sunday, August 31.

Malacanang has tasked Dizon “to conduct a full organizational sweep of the department and ensure that public funds are used solely for infrastructure that truly protects and benefits the Filipino people.”

Marcos also appointed lawyer Giovanni Lopez as the new acting transportation secretary.

Malacañang said Lopez, who has been with the Department of Transportation since 2020, previously served as Undersecretary for Administration, Finance and Procurement.
