Calling former Social Welfare Secretary Erwin Tulfo an “asset,” President Marcos said he would give the TV broadcaster another government post despite having been bypassed twice by the Commission on Appointments last month. | NCorralesINQ /PDI
“No, that’s really not been part of the plan for Erwin. No, we have other plans for him, not as a presidential adviser,” he said.Marcos also disclosed that former Presidential Management Staff chief Zenaida Angping asked for her new post as ambassador to France. She was appointed to the diplomatic post on Jan. 13, more than a month after asking for a break from her duties as PMS chief.
The president said Angping was now working on passing the Foreign Service Officer test, but that she had been a longtime aide of his uncle, Benjamin “Kokoy” Romualdez, a former Philippine ambassador to the United States, China, and Saudi Arabia. She took time off days after her husband, former Manila Rep. Harry Angping, reportedly figured in a sexual harassment incident in Bangkok while the president was also in the Thai capital for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit.The president also maintained that the first lady, Liza Araneta-Marcos, had “zero” involvement and “really has no input” in his decisions related to government appointments.
“Whenever there’s a legal question, I’m not a lawyer so I need an expert opinion. She’s right next to me most of the time so I turn to her,” he added.
