Former Senator Francis Pangilinan joins Cabinet

It’s the season for recruitment.

“President Benigno S. Aquino III has appointed former Senator Francis ‘Kiko’ Pangilinan as Presidential Assistant for Food Security and Agricultural Modernization,” reports Genalyn Kabiling in Manila Bulletin.

Presidential Communications Operations Office Secretary Sonny Coloma explained, “This is similar to former Senator Lacson’s appointment. Hence, he will also hold the title of Secretary.”

Pangilinan will take his oath before Aquino at the Palace on Tuesday, May 6.
