PRESIDENTIAL candidate Faisal Mangondato said he would appoint experienced undersecretaries into his Cabinet if elected in the coming May 9 national elections.

''If elected president, I would place our government on autopilot. Autopilot means I would task all our civil service professionals, particularly our undersecretaries to run their respective departments based on ongoing beneficial programs and improvisations that they intend to introduce,' Mangondato said in Filipino and English during The Manila Times TV's 'Diretsong Pananaw,' an interview with presidential hopefuls on Saturday.
