MANILA, Philippines — President Rodrigo Duterte promised federalism to ensure prosperity is spread beyond Metro Manila. Now, four new agencies are eyed, two of which are Cabinet-level offices supposedly intended to address migrant worker woes and disaster response. While designated with their own goals, concerns had been raised whether stand-alone agencies are actually needed to deal with such granular tasks. Salary standardization efforts are typical, yet even accounting to these effects, Duterte shelled out way more particularly because police and military pay adjustments came in early. Also, there are a lot of position in other agencies still yet to be filled.
