Palace replaces chief of data privacy watchdog

Liboro was actually due to be replaced as he had been in a holdover capacity since ending his first three-year term in March 2019. He would have completed another three-year term—the maximum extension under the law—in March next year.

Nothing will stop the NPC from the conduct of its investigations. It’s business as usual.
