MANILA, Philippines — Press Secretary Trixie Cruz-Angeles was not on the list of reappointed Cabinet officials who took their oath before President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Tuesday.
Marcos administered the oath of new Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin and 10 other Cabinet members who were reappointed after the powerful Commission on Appointments bypassed their nominations, Malacañang said.
