The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) welcomed Monday, June 7, Region II Director Sancho A. Mabborang as its new Undersecretary for Regional Operations.
Mabborang took his oath before DOST Secretary “Boy” T. de la Peña on Monday, June 7, at the DOST national headquarters in Bicutan, Taguig City.
He succeeded the late undersecretary Dr. Brenda L. Nazareth-Manzano, who died on Feb. 4, 2021 after a long battle with cancer.
"I am pleased to officially announce the appointment of Engr. Sancho A. Mabborang as the Department of Science and Technology (DOST)'s Undersecretary for Regional Operations,” de la Peña said in his Facebook post on Monday.
He administered the oath to Mabborang, whom he described as a “model regional director.”
"Usec. Sancho has been a model regional director from DOST - Region 2 who introduced many timely, relevant, and innovative programs in his region that has demonstrated science for the people. The nationwide project Onestore.ph which he coordinates has become a good tool or medium during the pandemic when online ordering and delivery has become a new normal,” de la Peña wrote on his Facebook page.
