CA bypasses Ruiz, Aguda, confirms Lazaro, Aliling
The Commission on Appointments (CA) has bypassed the ad interim appointments of Presidential Communications Office Secretary Jay Ruiz and Information and Communications Technology Secretary Henry Aguda as it adjourned its sessions for the last time.
This means President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. will have to reappoint them for their appointments to be considered again in the 20th Congress.
Ruiz and Aguda last faced the CA on June 3, where their confirmations were suspended due to lack of time.
The CA confirmed the appointments of Foreign Affairs Secretary Maria Theresa Lazaro and Human Settlements and Urban Development Secretary Jose Aliling.
Prior to his confirmation, Aliling stated that the housing department will prioritize providing housing for those with limited means.
