Paglinawan is the CIAC’s current vice president for finance and will act as the agency’s interim president in lieu of Joshua Bingcang, who served as the agency’s president since March 17, but was appointed by President Marcos on June 8 as president and chief executive officer of the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA).
