In a statement by the ERC, the agency said, “Chairperson Agnes VST Devanadera designated [Baldo-Digal] as the Spokesperson of the Commission and its Executive Director. Her appointment will inspire the employees of ERC to work with renewed dedication and commitment as she is one of us. On the other hand, the appointment of Commissioner Marko Romeo L.
