Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The resignation comes after Malacañang dismissed two senior Department of Information and Communications Technology officials in August 2026 over alleged violations of government bidding rules. The instability and ongoing investigations threaten the core operations of the department, which oversees major government connectivity and digitalization projects involving substantial public funds.
