The Commission on Appointments (CA) headed by Senate President Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III on Wednesday confirmed the ad interim appointment of Education Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones and 45 officers of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).

In the plenary deliberations, Pimentel approved the motions for the confirmation of Briones and 456 AFP officers since there was no objection from the members.

Senators Bam Aquino, chairman of the CA committee on education; and Senate President Pro-Tempore Ralph Recto sponsored and seconded respectively the confirmation of Briones.

Aquino said that based on Briones’ accomplishments alone, it is clear that she is qualified for the job.
