ACTING Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque on Thursday said he was eyeing a “better looking” millennial spokesperson to help him speak on behalf of President Rodrigo Duterte. I promise the women, you will like the person I have in mind,” Roque told reporters in a Palace news briefing. Pimentel, also chairman of the congressional body, said the presidential spokesman, like the presidential legal counsel and the executive secretary, should be 100 percent left to the discretion of the President. “The presidential spokesman, in my opinion, need not be confirmed anymore by the CA. The presidential spokesman does not run a department like the other secretaries,” also said Pimentel.
