Seconding speech for EDUARDO MANAHAN AÑO for the confirmation of his ad interim appointment as Secretary, Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG)
Plenary Session No. 7, Third Regular Session
Mr. Senate President, my colleagues in the Commission on Appointments, ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon!
Earlier at the meeting of the Committee on the Interior and Local Government, I already registered a manifestation for his confirmation.
Gen. Eduardo M. Año, whose effective leadership as Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines has suppressed the Muslim extremists during the Marawi Siege. As a lawmaker from Mindanao, we are grateful to General Año for his contributions to the peace and order situation in Mindanao.
Today, I am joining my colleagues in the Commission on Appointments for the confirmation of the ad interim appointment of Gen. Eduardo M. Año, as Secretary of the Department of the Interior and Local Government, for I believe that he will bring professionalism to the PNP and he will be an effective bridge to all local government officials.
Thank you very much, Mr. President.
