COMMISSION on Higher Education (Ched) Chairman Prospero de Vera III will keep his post after being reappointed by President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., Press Secretary Trixie Cruz-Angeles said.

De Vera took the helm of the higher education regulatory board in October 2018 under the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte.

Angeles said Marcos has also made official the appointment of Raphael Perpetuo Lotilla as the secretary of the Department of Energy.

The Malacañang earlier said it is still clarifying the legal impediments to the employment status of Lotilla who is currently an independent director of Aboitiz Power and Enexor.

The Department of Justice later said they see nothing wrong in the appointment of Lotilla who had served as the secretary of the same department from 2005 to 2007 during the administration of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

Meanwhile, Angeles said Marcos also kept Rosalia Billegas de Leon as the head of the National Treasury of the Philippines.

Marcos also made the following appointments over the past week:

*Franz Josef George Espina Alvarez as acting president, chief executive officer and member, Board of Directors of the PNOC Exploration Corporation

*Philippe Jones Lhuiller as ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary to the Kingdom of Spain, including the Canary Islands

*Pedro Ramirez Laylo as ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary to the State of Israel

*Emmanuel Buenaflor Salamat as executive director, National Secretariat of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict

*Epimaco Verano Densing III as undersecretary, Department of Education

*Ferdinand Galvez Sevilla as president, Philippine Public Safety College, Department of the Interior and Local Government

*Benny Diaz Antiporda as acting administrator and member, Board of Directors of the National Irrigation Administration

*Monica Prieto Teodoro as special envoy of the President to the United Nations Children’s Fund (Unicef)

*Alex Quiroz as chairman, Governance Commission for Government-Owned or Controlled Corporations
