Instead, the President meets with the DA senior undersecretary 'twice a week' to relay his concerns related to his work as concurrent agriculture chief
MANILA, Philippines – The sheer workload of the presidency is affecting President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s engagement with the Department of Agriculture where he serves as concurrent agriculture chief.
“In the last three months, or let’s say in the last 6 months, you’ve had two meetings with all the [undersecretaries], how many of those two meetings was the President present?” Panganiban said the DA has a management group of all the undersecretaries where they thresh out concerns once every three months. Aside from the senior undersecretary, it has an undersecretary for policy, planning and regulations; undersecretary for administration; undersecretary for finance; undersecretary for fisheries; undersecretary for special concerns and for the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao; undersecretary for rice industry development; undersecretary for livestock.
