(Eagle News) — Vince Dizon has resigned as president of the Bases and Conversion Development Authority (BCDA).

Dizon, however, will remain in President Rodrigo Duterte’s Cabinet as the country’s testing czar and deputy chief implementer of the National Task Force against COVID-19.

This was revealed in the hearing on the proposed P6.487-billion budget of the BCDA for 2022 in the Senate on Monday, Oct. 18.

Dizon’s resignation as BCDA president reportedly became effective on Oct. 15.

His resignation was “irrevocable,” BCDA executive vice president Aileen Zosa said.

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Dizon was designated as Presidential Adviser for Flagship Programs and Projects.
