CA approves Remulla, Abalos appointments

(UPDATE) THE Commission on Appointments (CA) on Wednesday confirmed the ad interim appointments of Jesus Crispin Remulla as Justice secretary and Benjamin Abalos Jr. as Interior and Local Government secretary

The CA, however, suspended the deliberation on the ad interim appointment of Labor Secretary Bienvenido Laguesma for lack of time as Sen. Ana Theresia 'Risa' Hontiveros pressed for more time to question him.
