The technical consultant added that rumors about him taking over FDCP are groundless as the Malacañan Palace has not approved of anyone as of this writing. Meanwhile, Education Head Rica Arevalo will be serving as the officer-in-charge while FDCP awaits an official announcement coming from the Palace.

“There is no credibility because the Palace has not appointed Pip's successor. Only the OIC has been approved by the board," he said.
