Dave Gomez takes on government leadership role in the Philippines

The Presidential Communications Office (PCO) of the Philippines has announced the appointment of Dave Gomez as Secretary, under the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. He succeeds the role from Jay Ruiz. 
“I am grateful to the President for the trust and confidence, and I intend to repay that trust with my 100 per cent commitment and focus on this role,” Dave stated.

Looking ahead, he shared his vision for a more agile and digitally empowered PCO.
 
“I see the PCO as taking an active role in expanding the digital footprint of the administration. We intend to do this by advancing digital transformation within the PCO.”
