Equipaje and Aljama will serve the “unexpired term of office” of Alicia Manuel and Caroline Ngsuy Lansang.

Duterte appointed Waldo Reyes Carpio, brother of his daughter Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte’s husband Manases Carpio, as undersecretary of the Department of Agriculture.

He also named new undersecretary, Carim Lawi Panumpang, and assistant secretary, Allan Batarra Gepty, to the Department of Trade Industry.

The President also nominated Teresita Cruz Daza as ambassador to Chile with concurrent jurisdiction over Ecuador and Peru.
