PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte has reappointed Joel Libarios Otarra as postmaster general of the Philippine Postal Office.
Duterte had earlier appointed him as a member of the board of Philippine Postal Corp.
The employees at PHLPost admire Otarra’s humility and simple lifestyle.
“We feel his honesty and humility, and we are happy that he stays as postmaster general,” said senior letter carrier Roberto Brondo of the Manila Central Post Office.
Duterte has also appointed Avelino Andal, a former director of the Quezon Metro Water District, as the new administrator of the Philippine Coconut Authority.
Andal replaces officer in charge Glenn B. Santos.
The Philippine Coconut Authority is under the supervision of Cabinet Secretary Leoncio Evasco. It is the lead agency mandated to promulgate a Supreme Court ruling saying the P72-billion coconut levy fund held in trust was a public fund that ought to be used for the benefit of coconut farmers and the coconut industry.
Otarra appealed to PHLPost employees and management to work closely with him to make PHLPost reliable, trustworthy and an efficient service-oriented corporation.
Presently, PHLPost is strengthening its partnership with government and private institutions to deliver first-rate mail service, parcels and various goods around the country and abroad.
