Malacanang says President Aquino runs the
country even if he oversees operations against members of the Moro
National Liberation Front in Zamboanga City
September 19, 2013
President Benigno S. Aquino III still puts in a full day of running
the country even as he personally oversees the operations against
members of the Moro National Liberation Front-Misuari faction in
Zamboanga City, Presidential Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda said on
Thursday.
In a press briefing in Malacanang, Lacierda said the President, who has been in the province since Friday (September 13) undertakes a three-meeting schedule with security forces, members of his official family and local government unit where he issues his directives and instructions.
He said the meetings of the President would be held as early as seven in the morning and would end late at night.
“Just to give you an example of the schedule of the President: he normally has a three-meeting schedule on a daily basis. At seven in the morning, there’s a meeting with security commanders and Cabinet Secretaries to discuss events of the previous night and then there’s a midday meeting to discuss events that happened during the day and an evening meeting with security again and the Cabinet Secretaries to discuss a broad assessment of security and humanitarian concerns,” Lacierda said.
“So that’s the regular schedule of the President in Zamboanga City and also he’s met on several occasions, for instance he’s met with the Zamboanga local government unit and the business and civic leaders of Zamboanga City. It was a three hour meeting held last Friday night,” he added.
Lacierda also said that regular updates from Interior and Local Government Secretary Manuel Roxas II intimated that the President was in close coordination with Zamboanga Mayor Beng Climaco and Zamboanga Sibugay Governor Wilter Palma.
“And we understand, from Secretary Mar Roxas, that the President has also met with Mayor Beng Climaco and Governor Wilter Palma of Zamboanga Sibugay. So they met from around 9 p.m. til midnight of two days ago,” Lacierda said.
“And then last night, after the evening meeting with the security group and Cabinet Secretaries to discuss security and humanitarian concerns, the President also called up Public Works Secretary Rogelio Singson and Budget Secretary Florencio Abad regarding rehabilitation and re-construction plans for Zamboanga City,” he added.
