(Eagle News) — Martin Diño is now undersecretary of the Department of the Interior and Local Government.
President Rodrigo Duterte himself made the appointment, months after he was asked to give up his post as chair of the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority chair “in the name of public interest.”
The President then appointed lawyer Wilma Eisma, then the SBMA administrator, in Diño’s place.
The chief executive did this after issuing Executive Order 42 that effectively repealed a previous executive order that separated the powers and duties of the SBMA chairperson and administrator.
