Rep. Rufus Rodriguez of Cagayan de Oro City on Thursday urged President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to resist the temptation of appointing or recycling candidates who lost in the May 2022 election
He made the appeal as the one-year ban on the appointment of election losers has expired.
Among the departments that are in need of full-time permanent secretaries are those of agriculture, health and national defense. “He should have competent people helping him. He is very fortunate that he has his principal ally in Congress, our Speaker Martin Romualdez, to rely on not only in terms of legislative and moral support but in solving problems the nation faces,” he said. Rodriguez is the chair of the House committee on constitutional amemdments.
“Secretaries keen on running for office in the mid-term polls are bound to become preoccupied with partisan political activities in a matter of months,” Libanan pointed out.
