CA defers Tulfo's confirmation

(UPDATE) THE Bicameral Commission on Appointments (CA) on Tuesday, November 11 deferred action on the interim appointment of the former journalist Erwin Tulfo as Secretary of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).

The CA Committee on Labor, Employment, Social Welfare and Migrant Workers' decision to defer Tulfo's appointment was due to issues surrounding his citizenship and pending libel case before the Supreme Court.
