Duterte appoints Cebuano to Clark Development Corporation

CEBU, Philippines — President Rodrigo Duterte has appointed Cebuano businessman Luisito “Chito” Clavano as the newest member of the Clark Development Corporation Board of Directors.

In a statement, Presidential Assistant for the Visayas Secretary Michael Dino has expressed confidence that Clavano will be an invaluable asset to the Clark Development Corporation given his expertise and track record in management in both the public and the private sectors.

Dino said that Clavano has vast management experience in the transportation and food service industries which can be harnessed in various development programs that are now being undertaken inside the Clark Freeport Zone under the aegis of the said corporation.

In the same statement, Clavano was grateful for the president’s trust.

Clavano pledged to deliver the tasks given to him particularly those that can accelerate the growth of Clark as the “New City” – a hub of economic growth yet unmatched in the nation’s history.

Clavano was formerly the Executive Director of the Road Board which functions have been transferred to the Department of Public Works and Highways. (FREEMAN)
