According to Malacañang, the designation papers signed by President Rodrigo Duterte on Dec. 6 included that of retired Army colonel and Bases Conversion and Development Authority Director Yusop Jimlani as Presidential Adviser on Local Extremist Groups Concerns.

The National Museum is an umbrella government organization that oversees several museums, including ethnographic, anthropological, archaeological and visual arts collections. 

Since 1998, the National Museum has been the regulatory and enforcement agency of the government in restoring and safeguarding important cultural properties, sites, and reservations throughout the Philippines. 

Arroyo-Bernas is the only daughter of the former President while Jimlani once served as chief of the City Demolition Unit during Duterte’s term as mayor of Davao City.
