MANILA, Philippines—President Benigno Aquino III has finally signed the appointment papers of Immigration Commissioner Siegfred B. Mison and Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) Administrator Vicente B. Malano.
Both are currently serving as officers-in-charge of their respective bureaus.
Mison’s permanent appointment was signed on Dec. 18, while Malano’s paper was signed the following day, said deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte in a radio interview.
Mison, who was appointed associate commissioner of the Bureau of Immigration (BI) in 2011, replaced Ricardo David who quit last July.
Like father like son Mison is a son of former Customs commissioner Salvador Mison.
Malano replaced Nathaniel Servando who resigned in June to take on a teaching post in the Middle East.
Mr. Aquino returned Nonnatus Cesar R. Rojas to his previous post in the prosecution service.
Rojas, who resigned as director of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) in September following President Aquino’s statements to the Inquirer that tended to cast doubt on the NBI’s integrity, has been appointed Prosecutor 5 (Regional Prosecutor) in Region 1 (Ilocos).
