League of
Provinces Gov. Erico Aumentado of Bohol, LPP President, also urged critics to give Mrs. Arroyo’s appointees a chance to prove themselves first and see if they will perform in accordance with the President’s expectations. Gov. Ben Evardone of Eastern Samar Specifically hailed the appointment of Gabriel Claudio as presidential political adviser, saying that Claudio will not only protect the interest of the Eastern Visayas Region where he comes from but “the development of the country as a whole.” Aumentado said he has had a chance to work several times with Claudio and Claudio has demonstrated his professionalism in handling the political affairs of the country. Evardone said the combination
of old and new members of the Cabinet will complement the result-oriented
style of the President. He expressed hope that the Cabinet appointees
will hurdle the Commission on Appointment once their names are submitted
for confirmation. (The Manila Times, August 31, 2004)
