Palace official coy on CSC transfer

WITH the scheduled recess of Congress, President Benigno Aquino 3rd may make ad interim appointments to various positions that were recently left vacant by those who retired, including the post of Civil Service Commission (CSC) chief that reports said may go to Presidential Communications Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr.

But Coloma, who is probably the most eloquent among the president’s spokespersons, was modest about his supposed “promotion.” He neither confirmed nor denied the rumors.
