Manila Bulletin
|March 20, 2026
President Marcos has appointed former Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) secretary Maria Antonia Yulo-Loyzaga as Special Envoy for Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM), Malacañang said on Thursday, March 19.
It came 10 months after Marcos replaced Loyzaga as the DENR chief during his massive Cabinet revamp in May last year.
It was recalled that during the announcement of a Cabinet reshuffle in May 2025, then executive secretary Lucas Bersamin said Loyzaga might be considered for another Cabinet position in the future.
Yulo-Loyzaga served as DENR secretary from 2022 to 2025. Prior to her appointment, she served as a director at the United Nations International Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) Alliance for Disaster Resilient Societies for two years.
She also served as president of the National Resilience Council and was a member of the UNDRR Asia-Pacific Science and Technology Advisory Group.
She was also the executive director of the Manila Observatory from 2007 to 2016.
