Bersamin on way out? Not true until it actually happens
MANILA, Philippines — Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin yesterday denied reports that he will be replaced by Finance Secretary Ralph Recto.
“Not true until it actually happens. I don’t know how the speculation started,” Bersamin said in a text message.
Online news site Politiko reported that a major shakeup may be looming in the Marcos Cabinet.
The report said Recto is said to be the top choice as Bersamin’s replacement.
The report also said Special Assistant to the President for Investment and Economic Affairs Frederick Go is being eyed as the next chief of the Department of Finance.
It was not the first time that Bersamin was reported to be on the way out.
Early this year, rumors had circulated that Bersamin was on the chopping block.
However, in May, Marcos retained Bersamin as the “Little President,” following an order for all Cabinet members to submit their courtesy resignations as part of the administration’s recalibration after the midterm elections.
