Senator Honasan to head DICT

Senator Gregorio “Gringo” Honasan will head the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT). The outgoing lawmaker announced that he has accepted President Rodrigo Duterte’s offer of to lead the department. He will replace acting DICT Secretary Eliseo Rio Jr. However, Honasan’s appointment still needs to be confirmed by the Commission on Appointments.
