In a chance interview with reporters on Thursday following the submission of his courtesy resignation, Remulla said he understands Marcos' aim to "recalibrate" his administration to make it more performance-driven, especially as the President has reached the middle of his term.

"That's normal. This is to give him a free hand," Remulla said.

Asked if he is prepared for the possibility of another post in the Marcos administration, Remulla answered in the affirmative.

"I'm a soldier. I serve the President. I'm at his beck and call and I serve at his pleasure.

So I'm OK with it," he said.

For Remulla, the Cabinet revamp is a welcome development as the President really needs to choose "the best people he trusts, to keep running the government with him." In an interview with One News' "The Big Story" Friday night, Presidential Communications Undersecretary Claire Castro said more announcements on the Cabinet revamp can be expected on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, outgoing Human Settlements and Urban Development secretary Jose Rizalino Acuzar bade farewell to his colleagues in the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) and thanked President Marcos for giving him the opportunity to lead the agency for two years.
