Marcos has yet to pick his DOH Secretary but he has already revealed some of his chosen Cabinet members.

Besides being a Special Adviser of the NTF, Herbosa was recently appointed as Member of the Board of PhilHealth before accepting the post as Chairman, Emergency Medicine at the University of the Philippines-Philippine General Hospital.

In 2021, Herbosa left his post as University of The Philippines’ vice president after receiving criticism online for a controversial post involving the community pantry launched by actress Angel Locsin.
