Marcos to Vince Dizon: Make life easier for commuters

President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. on Friday tasked newly appointed Department of Transportation Secretary Vivencio ''Vince'' Dizon to make the lives of commuters easy.

''Welcome aboard, Secretary Vince Dizon! We’re set to enhance physical connectivity and make life easier for the commuting public. Let’s get it done!'' Marcos said in a social media post.

Earlier in the day, Marcos administered the oath of office of Dizon, who replaced former DOTr chief Jaime Bautista.

Dizon previously served as president of the Bases and Conversion Development Authority (BCDA). At the height of the pandemic, he was also named as deputy chief implementer of the National Task Force Against COVID-19.

Dizon has directed the Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) to suspend the reimplementation of cashless toll collection in all expressways which was supposed to take effect March 15, saying the efficiency of the automated toll collection should be evaluated first. — Anna Felicia Bajo/RSJ, GMA Integrated News
