Justice Sec. Remulla confirms brother’s appointment as DILG chief
Cavite Governor Jonvic Remulla is set to be sworn in as the new secretary of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) on Tuesday.
Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla confirmed his brother's appointment and mentioned that his oath-taking ceremony is scheduled for Tuesday morning.
Governor Remulla is reportedly withdrawing his candidacy for governor as he takes on the new role.
He will be replacing Benjamin "Benhur" Abalos Jr., who resigned to run for senator.
Justice Secretary Remulla believes his brother's appointment will enhance the justice system through improved coordination within the Justice Sector Coordinating Council (JSCC), which includes the DILG, the Department of Justice, and the Supreme Court.
The Justice Secretary highlighted that with both of them in key positions, they can instantly coordinate on matters needing immediate attention and accelerate the training of police and prosecutors.
