President Rodrigo Duterte has appointed former Malolos, Bulacan Mayor Christian Dionisio Natividad as chairman of the Optical Media Board, Malacañang announced Friday.
Presidential spokesman Harry Roque said Natividad will represent the academe, and will head the board for three years.
“We hope the appointment of Mr. Natividad would lead the OMB to greater heights, particularly in fighting optical media piracy and protecting intellectual property rights in digital form. We wish Mr. Natividad good luck in his new assignment,” Roque said.
Natividad took his oath before Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi on Thursday.
He ran for Bulacan governor in the 2019 midterm elections under Duterte’s political party PDP-Laban, but he lost to then vice governor Daniel Fernando.
