Governance
The CHED is headed by a Chairperson and four Commissioners appointed by the President.[4] The current chairperson, Prospero “Popoy” E. de Vera III, was appointed by Rodrigo Duterte in 2018 and re-appointed by Bongbong Marcos in 2022.[5][6] On January 22, 2024, the Office of the President of the Philippines imposed a 90-day preventive suspension order against a Commissioner Aldrin A. Darilag who was accused of grave misconduct, neglect in the performance of duty and abuse of authority or oppression.[7]
On March 12, 2024, Darilag filed with the Ombudsman of the Philippines against Chairman De Vera III a 5-page complaint for graft and corruption and grave abuse of authority charges, under R.A. 3019, the "Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act". "Respondent De Vera would like me to support Aspen as a supplier of CHED even though it did not comply with the requirements stipulated in Republic Act 9184, otherwise known as the procurement law. He even asked me to have a meeting with Aspen representatives, which I refused to do," Darilag's sworn affidavit read.[8]
