Former Rizal vice governor Frisco San Juan Jr. and Procopio Lipana have been appointed by President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. as the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority's deputy chairman and general manager, respectively.

San Juan and Lipana joined other officials in taking their oaths of office on Friday, according to the Office of the Executive Secretary.

Marcos signed the appointment paper for San Juan on November 16.

 
San Juan held the same position during the Duterte administration.

He served as the head of the Pasig River Ferry Service, an alternative means of transportation to help ease traffic congestion in the metro.
 
The MMDA earlier said San Juan sees the ferry service as a solution to alleviate traffic problems in Metro Manila as it transitions to the "new normal." — VBL, GMA Integrated News
