Marcelino Libanan on Sunday, Jan. 29 as he urged President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. to pick a DSWD secretary who has no plans to run for an elective position.
“The country does not need a DSWD head who is keen on running for public office in the 2025 or 2028 elections,” Libanan stressed, adding that one who has political plans would easily get distracted at work.
