MANILA – Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista on Friday designated Port Manager Manuel Boholano as the officer-in-charge (OIC) General Manager (GM) of the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA.)

In a statement, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) said Boholano was formally given the responsibility through DOTr Special Order No. 2022-129 effective July 1.

“Mr. Boholano shall perform and discharge the functions and responsibilities of an OIC-GM until 31 July 2022 or until a permanent GM has been appointed or designated, whichever comes first,” the DOTr said.

It said Boholano became a port manager in 2005 and is currently at the Port Management Office of Eastern Leyte/Samar since 2020.

He has worked under the PPA since 1988. (PNA)
