CPP/Ang Bayan: CA rejects Mariano’s confirmation

Propaganda article from the English edition of Ang Bayan posted to the Communist Party of the Philippines Website (Sep 7): CA rejects Mariano’s confirmation

THE COMMISSION on Appointments ultimately rejected the appointment of Rafael Mariano (Ka Paeng) as secretary of the Department of Agrarian Reform this September 6.

The Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP) criticized the decision, saying this once again proved Duterte’s fealty to the country’s landlords and oligarchs. The order to reject Ka Paeng directly came from Duterte. Among those who blocked his appointment were Duterte’s daughter Sara Duterte and her husband Manases Carpio who lawyers for Lapanday Foods Corporation. Paid pseudo-farmers sent by the Aquino-Cojuangco family also blocked his appointment.

Before this, the CA also rejected the appointment of Judy Taguiwalo as secretary of the Department of Social Work and Welfare.
