Taguiwalo’s rejection another low point for Congress

THE Commission on Appointments’ rejection of Judy Taguiwalo’s nomination as Social Welfare and Development secretary is yet another low point for Congress, which has sunk to so many lows under the current dispensation.

This is the third appointee of President Rodrigo Duterte to be thumbed down by the congressional panel; the first two were Perfecto Yasay Jr. as Foreign Affairs secretary and Regina Paz Lopez as secretary of Environment and Natural resources.
