Kinumpirma ni Communications Usec. Claire Castro ang pagkakatalaga kay dating DILG Secretary Benhur Abalos, bilang cabinet secretary ng administrasyon.
Ayon kay Castro, ilang ulit nang natanong si Pangulong Marcos Jr. kung magiging bahagi ng administrayson si Abalos, at una na rin aniyang nasabi ng Pangulo na nais niyang makatrabaho muli si Abalos.
“Ang kaniya po magiging responsibilidad, ilan lamang po to sa aking babanggitin. Number one, assist the President by providing timely, relevant, and strategic advice on emerging national, local, and international issues affecting the political landscape.” — Castro.
Ang pagkakatalaga aniya kay Abalos, sagot sa mga nauna nang katanungan sa pangulo.
Kung matatandaan, una nang nagsilbi bilang DILG Secretary si Abalos mula noong taong 2022 hanggang 2024 sa ilalim ng Marcos administration.
Ngayong hapon, nakatakdang manumpa sa bagong papel si Abalos.
“As may be directed by the President, serve as a conduit of the President to national government agencies, local government units, political organizations, groups or parties, civil society organizations, and sectoral groups on matters of political concern, and also serve as head of strategic action and response office, and for this purpose exercise supervision and control over its constituent offices.” — Castro.
