MANILA — The Commission on Appointments has confirmed the appointment of Ralph Recto as Secretary of the Department of Finance (DOF) on Wednesday (13 March 2024).
No one has objected to Recto’s appointment.
Senator Ramon Revilla Jr. endorsed Recto after a short panel deliberations.
“With him at the helm, we know that the Department of Finance is in good hands,” Revilla said.
“Through his great attention to detail and relentless pursuit of the greater good, many of the measures that this institution has produced have been cultivated and refined for the nation,” he added.
President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. named Recto Finance chief in January, replacing Benjamin Diokno.
