Malacañang defended on Sunday President Rodrigo Duterte’s preference in choosing former military officials in his Cabinet.
Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said soldiers don’t question things, they “get things done.”
“Ang gusto talaga ni Presidente ay sumusunod sa mga legal na orders kasi ‘yan po ang trabaho ng ehekutibo na ipagpatupad ang mga batas at polisiya,” Roque said during a Dobol B sa News TV interview.
He cited as an example Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu and Peace Process Secretary and vaccine czar Secretary Carlito Galvez, Jr., who were both former military generals.
“Tignan natin nangyari sa paglilinis ng Boracay; si General Cimatu, nagawa naman niya. ‘Yung pag-aangkat ng bakuna; si General Galvez, bagamat sinubukan na kulayan ng politika, sinubukan na batuhin ng mga paratang ng korapsyon, eh tuloy tuloy pa rin si General Galvez,” according to the spokesman.
Other retired military men in the Cabinet are Interior Secretary Eduardo Año, Human Settlements and Urban Development Secretary Eduardo del Rosario, Customs Commissioner Isidro Lapeña, and Bases and Conversion Development Authority chief Glorioso Miranda among others.
