MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. reappointed Romando Artes as the acting chairman of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority, replacing its earlier appointee who took over the office just a few months ago. 

 

Artes is set to replace Carlo Dimayuga III, who only served the MMDA for three months after he was appointed acting chairman in August. Acting Press Secretary Cheloy Garafil confirmed this to reporters over the weekend, but the Palace did not provide an explanation why Dimayuga was replaced. 

 

In a statement Monday morning, Artes thanked Marcos for the second term as he vowed "to continue reforms my predecessors and I have started, as well as introduce new programs and projects to further improve metro-wide services for the benefit of all Metro Manila residents and the general public."
