Senators see no problem with newly installed Department of National Defense Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr. getting the approval of the Commission on Appointments despite alleged destabilization talks within the country’s armed forces. | MAgerINQ
Senator JV Ejercito, part of the CA, echoed Pimentel’s statement that the new DND chief could easily get the body’s approval.
This sentiment was also shared by Senator Jinggoy Estrada, who heads the Senate committee on national defense and security. “I am hoping that Galvez will eventually be nominated for confirmation before the Commission on Appointments to allow him to fully discharge his functions and responsibilities, not just in an acting capacity,” he said in a statement Monday.
