Erwin Tulfo named new DSWD secretary

President-elect Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. has appointed broadcast journalist Erwin Tulfo as the incoming Secretary of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).

Tulfo has accepted the nomination and expressed his gratitude to Marcos Jr. for the trust given to him.

He vowed to do his best to meet the needs of the country's poor and disadvantaged citizens.

This appointment comes after Tulfo's controversial rant in 2019 against the then-DSWD Secretary Rolando Bautista, which led to the recall of his police escorts.
