President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. said Friday he prefers to do the “hard things” while he is the head of the Department of Agriculture before appointing someone to take over the post.
“All the hard things, ‘yung mahirap gawin ngayon namin gagawin. ‘Pag nagawa na namin ‘yung mga bucket list namin, natapos na namin, aalis na ako . Then I will give it to somebody else,” Marcos, who concurrently serves as DA secretary, said. In November last year, he said it would take some time before he finally gives up the DA portfolio, as the list of candidates to replace him “keeps changing.”When asked if he is considering appointing a retired military or police general as his successor, Marcos said, “No.”“Kailangan eksperto sa agrikultura . Agriculture is a very complicated subject. Hindi lang kung sino-sino basta’t magaling mag-manage . They have to understand the science… They have to understand the solution.
