Pinklawan to be part of BBM Cabinet? Here’s the advice of Imee Marcos to the incoming president
IMEE MARCOS – The senator advised her brother president-elect Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. to appoint a “pinklawan.”
In a radio interview, BBM should fulfill “unity” by hiring people who are from the opposition, in other words, not their party members.
“Ngayon, lahat kami todo submit ng pangalan para maipasok at marami sa mga nire-recommend ko sinasabi ‘yung dilawan, pinklawan,” she said.
Apparently, the senator did not reveal who the “pinklawan” are on their list who will be part of the next administration.
It can be recalled that incoming President Bongbong Marcos has appointed Arsenio Balisacan, who worked during the administration of former president Noynoy Aquino as NEDA secretary.
