Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin on Wednesday vowed to ensure proper coordination and complete staff work from government offices to avoid the recurrence of the "miscommunication" that resulted in the controversial issuance of Sugar Order No. 4 .
"Tingin ko po sa nangyari ay talagang miscommunication and since we came to this position, we made sure that this will never happen again by requiring complete staff work ordinarily and complete staff work, at that time, might have avoided this confusion and miscommunication," Bersamin said. Sugar Order No. 4 mandated the importation of 300,000 tons of sugar, a move which Malacañang said was illegal as it did not have the approval and signature of President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr., the concurrent secretary of Agriculture.The Senate blue ribbon committee, which conducted a series of investigation on the issuance of SO 4, has recommended administrative and criminal charges against an Agriculture official and three former Sugar Regulatory Administration .
Sebastian told the panel that the memorandum stated "that I will sit as ex-officio chairman or member of all duly constituted administration, committees, councils, boards, bodies where the Secretary of Agriculture is a member."
