Sa kabila ng panawagang magbitiw na sa puwesto, kumpiyansa pa rin si Pangulong Duterte kay Department of Transportation (DOTr) Secretary Art Tugade.
Ito ang tiniyak ng Malacañang sa harap ng mga panawagang magbitiw na si Tugade sa puwesto dahil umano sa kapalpakan sa trabaho, partikular na sa pagresolba sa problema sa trapiko.
“Secretary Tugade, as a presidential appointee, enjoys the trust and confidence of the President. With barely a few months and he is really doing his best naman po. We acknowledge na may mga ibang sector who are calling for Secretary Tugade to resign but then, nakikita naman po natin, they are doing their best also at their end to solve the traffic problem and everything that has concerns about the DOTr,” ani Communications Assistant Secretary Marie Banaag.
