Chavez takes charge of Palace comms

MANILA, Philippines — The newly appointed chief of the Presidential Communications Office (PCO) vowed to play an active role in communicating issues related to the West Philippine Sea dispute, on top of explaining the key decisions and direction of the Marcos administration.

Secretary Cesar Chavez, who took his oath as the next PCO head on Thursday, said he would not serve as the presidential spokesperson but help President Marcos convey his development programs, foreign policy and legislative agenda beyond “mere bullets, PowerPoint presentations or soundbites.”

“I’ll take an active role in messaging and communicating our policies or related issues to the West Philippine Sea. I will focus on bringing you the news,” Chavez told Palace reporters after being sworn in before the President.
