Marcos appoints lawyer as LWUA chief

In a statement, Presidential Communications Secretary Cheloy Garafil said Salonga was appointed LWUA administrator on Feb. 19.

Salonga replaced Homer Revil, former Masbate vice governor appointed to the LWUA in February last year.

Malacañang has yet to respond to media queries about Marcos’ reasons for replacing Revil.

Salonga finished his economics degree at the Ateneo de Manila University in 1999.
