Department of Transportation (DOTr) Secretary Jaime Bautista has expressed gratitude to the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) for having accomodated him for the last two months as the DOTr looks for a permanent office space in the National Capital Region.
Bautista thanked and cited CAAP for its hospitality during the monthly office-wide flag raising ceremony of CAAP attended by CAAP officials and employees from its Central Office.
The DOTr Secretary said that to date, he is still looking for a permanent office.
In the said ceremony, Bautista also shared the challenges of taking a leadership role at a hot-seat government office and how he has strived to learn how government works.
Meanwhile, CAAP Acting Director General Captain Manuel Antonio “Skee” Tamayo also delivered a message to brief the CAAP community on what is to come for the new month as well as to thank CAAP employees for their resilience and hard work despite the recent natural calamities.
