MIAA chief Tugade, itinalaga bilang bagong LTO chief
Itinalaga ni Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. si Manila International Airport Authority general Manager Jose Arturo “Jay Art” Tugade bilang bagong pinuno ng Land Transportation Office.
Ayon kay Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista, itinalaga si Tugade para mapabuti ang pamamahala sa LTO.
Papalitan ni Tugade si dating LTO chief Teofilo Guadiz na itinalaga naman bilang Assistant Secretary for the Road Sector ng Department of Transportation.
“While Atty. Tugade’s appointment was announced a few weeks ago, we have to a conclusion that he is best suited for the very challenging job in the LTO. With his experience in management and litigation, I believe that he will make a difference in the LTO with the many problems and controversies being faced by the agency,” pahayag ni Bautista.
“When I talked to Atty Tugade after the announcement, we both discussed how we can better serve the DOTr. It was then that we realized that he is better suited to the LTO. We immediately asked the indulgence of the President and explained the gravity of the situation in the LTO and the importance of the work that has to be done as well as the willingness of Atty J Art to do it. In the end, the President understood the situation,” pahayag ni Bautista.
