THE Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) said it is now filling up about 2,000 vacant positions with some positions to be filled through promotions of employees.
“We need to promote deserving, honest and hardworking people here in DPWH which include JO (job order),” Secretary Vivencio B. Dizon said in a statement on Monday.
The agency will prioritize employees of DPWH including those under job order or contractual basis, Mr. Dizon said, adding that this is in line with the government’s push to give opportunities to promote those job order employees.
Further, Mr. Dizon said reforms will also seek to eliminate salary delays.
Meanwhile, Mr. Dizon on Monday announced the appointment of Lara Marisse Esquibil as officer-in-charge for operations for Convergence Projects and Technical Services. — Ashley Erika O. Jose
