With days counting away in his term, outgoing President Benigno S. C. Aquino III recently signed into law Republic Act No. 10844 creating the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT). As a necessary effect, all operating units of the Department of Transportation and Communications (DoTC) with functions and responsibilities dealing with communications will be transferred to the newly-created DICT. Henceforth, the DoTC will be renamed as the Department of Transportation.
