MANILA, Philippines – President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. picked Enrique Manalo, a respected career diplomat with over four decades of experience in diplomacy, as the Philippines’ new secretary of foreign affairs.
Manalo, the Philippines’ former ambassador to the United Nations in New York, is the first career diplomat to serve as full-time foreign secretary in nearly two decades. While he served as acting DFA chief for two months in 2017 , the last career diplomat to serve as DFA chief in a full-time capacity was Delia Albert from 2003 to 2004.
Manalo served as the DFA’s undersecretary for policy from August 2007 to February 2010, under then-president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.
