Mayor Rody Duterte’s spokesperson Atty. Salvador Panelo revealed on Friday that the incoming president of the Republic of the Philippines, Pres. Rody Duterte is eyeing the service of Alfonso Cusi as Secretary of the Department of Energy (DOE). Atty. Panelo revealed that Mayor Duterte called him up late in the evening to inform of the mayor’s decision.
In an interview with ANC, Atty. Panelo was quoted as saying “The criteria made by president-elect Duterte is that he must have integrity attached to his name, he is competent, and he knows where the problems lie in that particular agency and knows how to remedy it,” Panelo told ANC.
The chosen DOE Secretary by Pres. Rody Duterte, Alfonso Cusi was the former General Manager of the Manial International Airport Authority (MIAA) and a former head of the Philippine Ports Authority during the administration of former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.
Alfonso Cusi filed a certificate of candidacy for the second congressional district of Mindoro Oriental in 2010, but withdrew two months before the elections.
