DTI Chief to directly supervise CIAP and PCAB
To restore integrity and transparency through a major revamp, Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Secretary Ma. Cristina A. Roque, who also serves as Chair of the Construction Industry Association of the Philippines (CIAP), has placed CIAP and its implementing boards, including the Philippine Contractors Accreditation Board (PCAB) under her direct supervision.
“Placing them under my direct supervision will ensure that order, transparency and accountability is restored within these agencies,” Secretary Roque stated.
This leadership intervention underscores the DTI’s unwavering commitment to prevent mismanagement and any conduct detrimental to its agencies.
“Full transparency and cooperation are mandatory, and those who breach the trust and mandate entrusted to us will be held accountable,” Secretary Roque emphasized.
The move signals a renewed focus on accountability and better governance within CIAP and PCAB as they undergo this significant review and clean-up. ♦
