On 12 August 2024, His Excellency President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. appointed a new set of Board of Directors, marking the beginning of an exciting chapter for PHIVIDEC-IA. This post aims to introduce the new board members, share some insights into their backgrounds, and discuss the potential impact of their leadership on PHIVIDEC-IA's future. So, grab a cup of coffee and join me on this journey of discovery.

The swearing-in ceremony on 13 August 2024 was a momentous occasion. The new Chairman, ENGR. AUGUSTUS N. ADIS, PME, took his oath before Hon. Ma. Lorelai Andrea C. Dulig, RTC Judge of Makati City. On the same day, the three other new Directors—ATTY. EDUARDO Q. ALMIRANTE, JR, CPA, MGEN. WILBUR C. MAMAWAG (RET.), and ENGR. CHRYSLER B. ACEBU—were sworn in before CA Associate Justice John Lee at the Court of Appeals Building in Cagayan de Oro City.

Engr. Augustus N. Adis steps into his role as Chairman with a wealth of experience and a vision for progress. His appointment marks a significant transition from his predecessor, Jesus S. Guevara II.

His presence promises to infuse PHIVIDEC-IA with fresh ideas and innovative solutions. Engr. Acebu's contributions will undoubtedly drive the organization towards a future of technological excellence and sustainable growth.

Administrator and CEO Atty. Joseph Donato J. Bernedo, who serves as the Vice-Chairman of the board, expressed his enthusiasm for the new appointments. "I am pleased to welcome Engr. Adis, Atty. Almirante, MGen. Mamawag, and Engr. Acebu to the PHIVIDEC-IA Board.
