Following the appointment coming from President Rodrigo Duterte, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) has welcomed long-time academician Dr. Aldrin Darilag as its new Commissioner.

Issuing a statement, CHED chairperson, Dr. J. Prospero De Vera III, “enthusiastically” welcomed Darilag who will serve the former’s unexpired term as commissioner. In October last year, De Vera was promoted to CHED chairman following the resignation of Dr. Patricia Licuanan in January 2018.
De Vera said that Darilag will serve as CHED commissioner until July 21, 2020. Under Republic Act 7722 or “Higher Education Act of 1994," the President shall appoint the full-time chairman and the commissioners for a term of four years, without prejudice to one reappointment.
Darilag, CHED said, is “well-recognized for his expertise in research and curriculum development.” Given his qualifications and achievements, among others, the commission noted that the newly-appointed commissioner “will significantly strengthen” the CHED now composed of commissioners Pefecto Alibin (Industrial Technology/Education), Ronald Adamat (Indigenous People/Peace Education), Lilian de las Llagas (Public Health/Health Sciences), and De Vera (Public Administration/Social Sciences).
CHED said that Darilag, a long-time academician, is currently the human resources director at the De La Salle Philippines and heads the Human Resources Commission of the Lasallian Network. He is also a former associate professorial lecturer at the De La Salle University-Manila, VP for Academic Services at the St. Paul University-Surigao, and VP for Research, Planning and Extension Services at the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Marikina.
Darilag’s other areas of expertise, De Vera said, include “academic administration, research management, instructional supervision and management of extension programs and linkages.”
The newly-appointed commissioner finished his PhD in Education at the De La Salle University-Manila (DLSU-M) where he also earned units for PhD in Science Education, and took his Master of Education. He also earned a Master of Science in Medical Technology at the University of Santo Tomas. The multi-degree holder also finished baccalaureate degrees in nursing and medical technology.
