Is De Lima moving to the Palace?

Does this mean they’re “super close”?

“President Noynoy Aquino is mulling the transfer of Department of Justice (DOJ) Secretary Leila de Lima to the Office of the President (OP) in Malacañang Palace,” reports JC Bello Ruiz in Manila Bulletin.

Aquino said that with all the cases he has tasked De Lima to attend to, he’s thinking of setting up a desk for her in his office. He pointed out, “Baka mas efficient ’yun (That may be more efficient).”

Aquino said, perhaps, De Lima could spend three days a week at the Palace and two days at the DOJ headquarters in Manila.
