President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has appointed former Taguig City mayor Lino Edgardo Cayetano as the new general manager of state-run television network PTV-4, replacing Maria Lourdes Fragar.
Cayetano is the younger brother of Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano and Sen. Pia Cayetano, making him the latest member of the prominent political family to take on a high-profile government post.
Aside from his political career, Cayetano is known for his work in the entertainment industry as a television and film director. He previously served as mayor of Taguig City and represented the city's 2nd District in the House of Representatives.
His appointment was announced by the Presidential Communications Office, which oversees government media operations, including PTV-4.
Cayetano's entry into the state broadcaster comes as PTV-4 continues efforts to strengthen its presence across television, digital, and multimedia platforms.
