Newly-appointed Defense Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr. has urged the Department of National Defense officials to stay in their posts.
MANILA, Philippines — Newly-appointed Defense Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr. has urged the Department of National Defense officials to stay in their posts.
During a transition briefing held at Camp Aguinaldo in Quezon City on Tuesday, January 10, Galvez enjoined all members of the agency’s Executive Committee and heads of all its bureaus to stay in their posts.“We will sustain the gains of the past secretaries and will also further enhance the capability of our national defense,” Galvez said in a statement on Wednesday.
This comes as five undersecretaries and four assistant secretaries tendered their courtesy resignations after former DND’s officer-in-charge Gen. Jose Faustino Jr. stepped down from his post, according to the agency’s spokesperson Arsenio Andolong.
