President Rodrigo Duterte has appointed to the Department of Transportation (DOTr) the two Customs officials who resigned after they were embroiled in a controversy involving the P6.4-billion shabu shipment in the country.

Duterte appointed former Deputy Customs Commissioner Gerardo Gambala as DOTr’s Office of the Transportation Security Director, while former Custom’s Import Assessment Services Director Milo Maestrecampo was named as assistant director general of the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP).

The appointment papers of Gambala and Maestrecampo were signed by Duterte on November 6, but was released only on Friday.

EDITORS' PICK
A newlyweds returning from honeymoon were also among the victims of the crash, just two weeks after tying the knot at a ceremony on Dec. 13. A 32-year-old woman who was about to get married next spring was also among those who took the flight. A father who took his two sons on a trip to Bangkok was found to have died in the tragedy as well. The family was celebrating the elder son recently being accepted to university. A 30-year-old reporter at a Gwangju-based media outlet was one of the passengers of the flight 7C 2216, along with her 33-year-old husband. The vacation was a reward from the reporter's company, during which she posted a photo of a hotel swimming pool in Bangkok on her Instagram saying, "The weather here is so great, it's like early summer." A 50-year-old woman aboard the flight took the trip after surviving a yearlong cancer treatment. It was her first overseas trip since her honeymoon with her husband, who had passed away three years ago. The oldest victim in the accident, a 79-year-old man, was returning from a trip that was arranged by his family. His wife, two daughters and one of his son-in-laws, his granddaughter and three grandsons were also on board. Forty-one of the passengers aboard the flight were on the return leg of a package tour that left Muan International Airport on Christmas night. Of the 175 passengers, 103 were aged at least 50, while 14 were under the age of 20. The Ministry of Education on Monday announced that four of the victims were in elementary school, three in middle school, three in high school, and one was attending a local daycare center.
