President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Monday appointed former Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro Jr. to his old position and Dr. Teodoro Herbosa as Health Secretary, filling two crucial Cabinet positions a year into his administration.
Photos released by Malacanang showed Mr. Marcos talking separately to Teodoro and Department of National Defense officer-in-charge Carlito Galvez, and with Herbosa and Department of Health OIC Dr. Ma. Rosario Vergeire.
He also assumed the role of chairman of the National Disaster Coordinating Council , which has since been reconstituted into the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council. Teodoro completed his law degree and graduated at the top of his class at the University of the Philippines. He achieved the top rank in the 1989 Bar Examinations and furthered his legal education by obtaining a Master’s degree in Law from Harvard University.
He previously served as Health Undersecretary from 2010 to 2015, contributing to various initiatives such as the Hospital Accreditation Commission and the modernization of the Philippine Orthopedics Center, and promoting Public-Private Partnerships in health.
