President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has appointed Trade Undersecretary Ma. Cristina Aldeguer-Roque as acting secretary of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), following Alfredo Pascual’s decision to return to the private sector.
Malacañang announced Roque’s designation on Friday, two days after it announced Pascual’s resignation as trade secretary. Pascual’s resignation also took effect on Friday.
Before this, Roque was trade undersecretary for the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME) Development Group and was “instrumental” in executing programs and initiatives for MSMEs.
