President Marcos is walking his talk for unity when he appointed a son of known Marcos critic Randy David as undersecretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. A geologist, Carlos Primo Constantino David’s appointment was made last December but was announced only recently upon his arrival from a successful trip to Japan where he served as witness to various investments that Japanese companies are funneling into the country.
The appointment cements Marcos’s legacy as it shows that his plaintive plea for unity is backed up by his desire to see through a progressive Philippines. We understand that even a new department secretary was appointed to an important economic post even when the President was told that his wife was photographed holding a photo placard of another aspiring presidential contender. Told about it, the President said he does not mind, and forthwith issued the appointment.
These deals are estimated to create some 24,000 new jobs for Filipinos, helping not only the country’s growth but also see through a recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic. “Coming back, we have carried with us over $13 billion in contributions and pledges to benefit our people and create approximately 24,000 jobs and further solidify our economic environment,” Marcos said upon his arrival at the Villamor Airbase in Pasay City.
