Marcos reappoints Herbosa after CA bypass
President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. has reappointed Dr. Ted Herbosa as the interim Secretary of Health.
His reappointment followed the Commission on Appointments' bypass of his confirmation due to "lack of material time."
Since Congress is on break until November 5, Herbosa needed a reappointment to continue in the position.
Senate President Miguel Zubiri had previously stated that Herbosa's confirmation would be considered when sessions resume.
Herbosa, first appointed in June, is Marcos' first full-time health chief.
Prior to Herbosa's appointment, Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire served as the interim head of the Department of Health.
