Palace denies Lacierda eyed to replace DICT’s Henry Aguda

Malacañang on Friday dismissed reports that there would be a change of leadership in the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT). 

Palace Press Officer Undersecretary Claire Castro was asked if former presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda is being considered to replace Henry Aguda as DICT chief. 

“Not true,” Castro responded. 

On Thursday, Castro announced that Christina Frasco was appointed as Presidential Adviser for Sustainable and Resilient Communities, leaving the Department of Tourism.
