    Headline Duterte sacks FDA chief for corruption MediaTitle Philippine Star(www.philstar.com) Date 17 May 2019 Section NEWS Order Rank 1 Language English Journalist N/A Frequency Daily Duterte sacks FDA chief for corruption MANILA, Philippines — It’s the turn of the chief of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to get the ax supposedly for corruption as President Duterte continues to purge the bureaucracy of misfits and grafters, Malacañang said yesterday. The dismissal of FDA director general Nela Charade Puno was announced yesterday by presidential spokesman Salvador Panelo. “Please be advised that upon the instructions of the President, your appointment as Director General of the Food and Drug Authority, Department of Health, is hereby terminated,” Panelo said, quoting the one-page dismissal order signed by Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea dated May 15. Health Undersecretary Eric Domingo has been directed to take over as officer-in-charge “to ensure continuous and uninterrupted operations of the FDA.” Asked about his reaction to Puno’s dismissal, Domingo said the DOH “supports President Duterte’s commitment to eradicate graft and corruption in all government agencies.” According to Palace officials, Duterte had lost trust and confidence in Puno because of corruption issues, details of which Panelo did not share. “This is in line with the President’s continuing mandate to eradicate graft and corruption and to ensure that public officials and employees conduct themselves in a manner worthy of public trust,” the dismissal order declared. Malacañang directed Puno to turn over relevant official documents to the DOH Office of the Undersecretary for Health Regulation immediately.

  • Evolution of the Duterte Cabinet
    Evolution of the Duterte Cabinet Roughly half of Duterte's original Cabinet remains at the midway point of his presidency, while the number of retired military or police in the Cabinet has tripled. By Pia Ranada | August 18, 2019 Published 8:43 PM, August 18, 2019 Updated 9:50 PM, August 18, 2019 MANILA, Philippines – Eight-hour Cabinet meetings. Midnight monologues on repeat. Curve-ball policy pronouncements. These are just some of the presidential habits a Duterte Cabinet member must learn to live with. At the midway mark of Rodrigo Duterte’s presidency, only a little over half of his original Cabinet members remain standing. The other half were fired, pursued political ambitions, or failed to get confirmed by Congress. A few were transferred to other government posts. (READ: Cabinet members hail Duterte at halfway mark of presidency) Among the survivors are Duterte’s oldest pals – his longtime lawyer Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea, childhood friend Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III, and retired generals Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana and National Security Adviser Hermogenes Esperon Jr. The most trusted of them all, Special Assistant to the President Bong Go, has moved to the Senate, though in actuality, remains Duterte’s constant companion and whisperer. Duterte holds Cabinet meetings every first Monday of the month at the Aguinaldo State Dining Room in Malacañang. There have been a total of 40 Cabinet meetings so far, with the last one taking place on August 5. They usually start around 4 pm, with a prayer by the assigned Cabinet member, and last well into the night, sometimes stretching until the next morning.

    ISSUE: 2020 No. 42 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 11 May 2020 The Death of EDCA and Philippine-U.S. Security Relations Renato Cruz De Castro* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • The actions of regional states are changing the terms of the United States (U.S.)- China rivalry in Southeast Asia. • President Duterte’s February 2020 withdrawal from the 1999 Visiting Forces Agreement treaty with the U.S. has fomented the greatest crisis in the bilateral alliance in a quarter century. • The withdrawal is consistent with Duterte’s China-friendly view of U.S.-China relations and his rhetoric on the U.S.-Philippine alliance. • It renders the 2014 Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA) between the two allies inoperable and questions the future of the 1951 Mutual Defense Treaty. • The looming end of the VFA will weaken American strategic foothold in the region and help pave the way for the emergence of a Sinocentric order in Southeast Asia. * Renato Cruz De Castro is Professor in the International Studies Department, De La Salle University, Manila. He is currently the chair-holder of the Dr. Aurelio Calderon Chair in Philippine-American Relations. The author expresses his appreciation to Malcolm Cook for his editorial assistance. 1 ISSUE: 2020 No. 42 ISSN 2335-6677 INTRODUCTION At the end of the Aquino administration in mid-2016, Philippine-U.S. security relations were the strongest in a quarter-century, focused on the growing threat from China in the South China Sea, and on enhancing the U.S. forward presence in Southeast Asia.
