Palace: No need for new BSP chief Diokno to get CA nod

NEWLY appointed Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Governor Benjamin Diokno doesn't have to get the nod of the Commission on Appointments (CA) to serve his post, Malacañang clarified on Wednesday.

In a statement, Palace spokesman Salvador Panelo said Diokno’s appointment did not require CA approval based on previous rulings of the Supreme Court.
