(UPDATED) ATTORNEY Victor 'Vic' Rodriguez, longtime chief of staff and spokesman for President-elect Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr., has been nominated to be the executive secretary of the incoming administration.

'Who can say no to President-elect Bongbong Marcos? It is an honor working with him, whom I have known for a very long time, and I believe will serve the country efficiently and with unquestioned devotion. It is very flattering to work alongside the best person I've known,' the 48-year-old lawyer said in a statement on Sunday.
