President Rodrigo Duterte has appointed former Social Welfare Acting Secretary Virginia Orogo as an undersecretary of the Department of Agrarian Reform, documents from the Palace revealed on Wednesday.
According to her appointment paper, which was signed by Duterte on June 13 but was only released to reporters on Wednesday, Orogo will replace David Erro who served as an undersecretary for policy, planning, and research.
In May last year, Duterte tapped Orogo to serve as Social Welfare Acting Secretary from May 10, 2018, to Oct. 16, 2018. She was then replaced by incumbent Secretary Rolando Bautista, a former head of the Philippine Army.
Orogo aside, Duterte also named Aldrin Darilag as the new commissioner of the Commission on Higher Education. He will fill the vacancy left by now CHED Chairman Prospero de Vera III.
Darilag will serve as commissioner until July 21, 2020.
The Palace has also released the appointment papers of Aurelio Pangilinan de Leon as a member of the Philippine Racing Commission representing the Racehorse Owners’ Association.
Two days ago, National Food Authority Administrator Judy Carol Dansal was appointed by Duterte as an NFA council member replacing Jason Aquino.
