New NTC chairman takes over

By Erwin Oliva - INQUIRER.net

MANILA, Philippines --The new chairman of the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) took over his new post in turnover ceremonies Monday, an official of the agency said.

NTC deputy commissioner Jorge Sarmiento said former NTC chairman Abraham Abesamis relinquished the post to lawyer Ruel Canobas.

President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo sacked Abesamis last week and replaced him with Canobas, who was political affairs undersecretary at the Office of the President.

Canobas is a graduate of the Far Eastern University Law class 1991, the Palace said.

Abesamis was head of the Armed Forces’ communications arm before his retirement.

He was appointed to the NTC in November 2006, replacing lawyer Ronald Solis.

The new NTC chairman was unavailable for comment at this writing.
