    Montano, bagong Commission on Women chief

    MANILA –Hinirang ni President Rodrigo Duterte si commissioner Sandra Sanchez-Montano bilang bagong Philippine Commission on Women (PCW) chairperson ng ahensiya.

    Ito ang kinumpirma ni Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque sa virtual presser mula Davao City, Huwebes.

    “Ang bagong talagang commissioner po ay si (The new commissioner is) Miss Montano. So I can confirm po na ang isang (that a) sitting commissioner became the chairperson of the Commission on Women,” aniya.

    Ito rin ang kinumpirma ni Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea sa bagong appointment sa ipinadalang text message sa mga mamahayag.

    Ani Roque ang appointment kay Montano ay prerogative ng Pangulo.

    “All presidential appointments po are presidential prerogatives. No explanations need to be given,” aniya.

    Bago ang kanyang appointment, si Montano ay PCR commissioner na kumakatawan sa sektor ng kalusugan at siyensya.

    Bilang disaster preparedness advocate, kanya ring itinatag ang Community Health Education Emergency Rescue Services Corp.
