MANILA, Philippines -- The Cabinet revamp will “not be extensive,” outgoing Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye said Friday.
In a press conference at the Ambassador Hotel in Manila, Bunye said anew that his and Secretary Ricardo Saludo’s departure from President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s official family “triggered a chain reaction” and created vacancies.
Bunye added that he recommended his successor to the President, which he would reveal on June 6.
Although he refused to name his replacement, Bunye hinted that “he” was a Cabinet official and was capable to handle the task of press secretary.
Bunye will leave his post on July 3 to become a member of the Monetary Board at the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (Central Bank of the Philippines).
