Presidential Adviser for Creative Communications Paul Soriano is taking a break from work, Malacañang said Wednesday.
Soriano went on leave due to “personal reasons,” Communications Secretary Cheloy Garafil said in a statement.
Soriano’s leave from work came as his wife is expected to give birth to their second child.
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. named Soriano as his adviser for creative communications in October last year. Soriano has been behind
Mr. Marcos’ campaign advertisements since the latter started as vice governor until he was elected president last year.
He also supported the President’s electoral campaign with his wife, actress and TV host Toni Gonzaga.
It was Soriano who also directed Mr. Marcos’ first State of the Nation Address and his first 100 Days recap.
In May this year, Soriano’s office also launched the “We Give the World Our Best—The Philippines” branding campaign with the goal of “making us proud to be a Filipino, here at home and anywhere, everywhere all over the world.”
