Marcos taps pro-Duterte blogger to head media relations office
Lawyer and vlogger Rose Beatrix "Trixie" Cruz-Angeles, known for her support of President Duterte, has been appointed by President-elect Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to head the Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO).
Her primary role will be to oversee the PCOO's operations, including conducting regular press briefings for journalists covering Malacañang activities.
Marcos lawyer Victor D. Rodriguez stated that Angeles will serve as the "talking head" for the administration, as Marcos intends to forego appointing a spokesperson.
The Supreme Court had previously suspended Angeles from practicing law for three years in 2016 due to violations of a code of conduct against dishonest practices.
She previously worked as a social media strategist for the PCOO from July 2017 to 2018 and was involved in Duterte's 2016 campaign.
