MANILA, Philippines — The Office of the President has created a committee that would oversee the transition of power when President Rodrigo Duterte steps down from office in June, Malacañang said Wednesday.
This committee will be headed by Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea, acting presidential spokesman Martin Andanar said.
“The Office of the President created a transition committee chaired by Secretary Bong Medialdea to prepare and implement the Office of the President’s transition plan,” Andanar said in a Palace briefing.
Malacañang has yet to bare the members of this transition committee, Andanar said.
Duterte is set to end his term next month as the nation is set to elect his successor next Monday, May 9.
