OFW party-list Rep. Marissa Magsino on Sunday raised strong doubts Health Secretary Teodoro Herbosa’s case before the Office of the
Ombudsman would not go unnoticed once the powerful Commission on Appointments starts deliberations on his confirmation as member the Marcos Jr.’s administration.
A member of the House minority bloc, Magsino expressed confidence that the CA “would do its job of rigorously scrutinizing Herbosa’s fitness to head the Department of Health.” “And for a sensitive and crucial position such as the secretary of Health, this will undergo an even more meticulous assessment because we carry with us the lessons of the pandemic — that the DOH’s policies and programs play a fundamental and pivotal role in each of the lives of our citizens, thus it needs an extremely qualified leader and manager,” she noted.
Herbosa was ordered dismissed from government service and perpetually disqualified from holding any public office.

Camarines Sur politics getting hotter while airport project going nowhereTONGUES began wagging when the former president and speaker, now Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, was shown posing in a picture with former vice president Maria Leonor Robredo, with Arroyo saying that they talked about Bicol politics. We all know that politics is about optics, and the image, and Arroyo's comment, could mean a lot of things.
