The three executives were Atty. Jaime Raphael C. Feliciano as DOTC Assistant Secretary for Planning, Engr. Ronaldo Franco Corpuz, and Atty. Al Parreno as new Board Members at the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board.

Transport Secretary Manuel Araneta Roxas II continues to create a solid management team to integrate the Department, infuse new blood, and proactively resolve the myriad policy and operational problems in the various agencies under it.

“I have high respect with these executives who have proven their competence and integrity in their respective fields,” Roxas said. “They will play crucial roles in line with the good governance platform of our President.”
Atty. Feliciano has been instrumental in structuring and obtaining NEDA approval of key DOTC projects, including the 60B LRT Line 1 Cavite Extension Project; the P5.5B Puerto Princesa Airport Project, and the DOTC Road IT Infrastructure Project.

Prior to joining DOTC, he spent several years practicing private law, representing and providing counsel to various local, foreign and multinational clients in the country and overseas in the fields of litigation and arbitration, and Corporate Law.

Engr. Corpuz spent more than two decades at NEDA, starting as Research Engineer to OIC Assistant Director of NEDA Infrastructure Staff. He was most recently the director of Project Development Service at PPP Center.

Atty. Parreno is a consultant for the Asia Foundation and the USAID for Human Rights Law, and a Certified Speaker in the Mandatory Continuing Legal Education on Information Technology Processes.

Engr. Corpuz and Atty. Parreno’s appointments to assume LTFRB executive board member posts were already under review and process in the Office of the President even before Manuel Iway resigned as board member due to the recent LTFRB decision to revive the 489 franchises of the defunct Pantranco bus company.
