PRESIDENT Marcos Jr. has appointed lawyer and former Masbate vice governor Vicente Homer Revil as acting administrator of the Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) and member of its Board of Trustees, Presidential Communications Secretary Cheloy Garafil said yesterday.
Garafil said the appointment of Revil was made last February 6, along with lawyer Jovy Bernabe, who was named a member of the LWUA Board of Trustee.
Last January 18, the President also named lawyer Mary Lyn Charisse Lagamon as presidential assistant in the Office of the Appointments Secretary.
Revil is a three-term vice governor of Masbate who served until 2016.
He has a degree in business administration from the University of Santo Tomas, a post graduate diploma in management from the University of Melbourne in Australia, and a Juris Doctor degree from the Ateneo de Manila School of Law.
Bernabe served as the president of the Philippine Crop Insurance Corporation and was a former deputy executive director of the National Agricultural and Fishery Council and former board secretary of the Sugar Regulatory Administration.
He has a law and business economics degree from the University of the Philippines.
LWUA, a government-owned and controlled corporation, is mandated to promote and oversee the development of water supply systems outside Metro Manila.
Lagamon, who previously served as a court administrator and prosecutor, took her oath before the President in Malacañang last Monday.
