Marcos names Ted Herbosa as DOH Chief, Gibo Teodoro as DND Secretary | The Final Word

  • 11 months ago
After almost a year of waiting, the country finally has a Health Chief. Doctor Ted Herbosa will lead the Health Department after President Bongbong Marcos appointed him today.

Herbosa was former adviser for the National Task Force against COVID-19.

Gibo Teodoro returns as Defense Chief.

He first held the position during the Arroyo administration, before losing in the 20-10 presidential elections and serving quietly in the private sector.

Teodoro will head the DND at a time of disputes with China in the West Philippine Sea and rising tensions in the Taiwan Strait between the United States and China.

What challenges await the new Cabinet appointees?
