Pinasalamatan nitong Lunes ng katatalagang Cabinet Secretary na si Karlo Alexei Nograles si Pangulong Duterte sa oportunidad na maglingkod sa Gabinete upang makatulong sa pagsisikap na maisulong ang development agenda ng administrasyon.
“I thank President Duterte for welcoming me to his Cabinet. As a fellow Mindanaoan and kapwa probinsiyano, I hope to contribute to government efforts to bring development to the regions through different programs that place an emphasis on providing more economic opportunities outside Metro Manila,” ayon kay Nograles.
“As Appropriations Chair, one has to be familiar with the financial resources of the government’s different agencies, as well as have a general idea of their main trusts and major programs,” sabi ng dating Kinatawan ng Davao City.
