Defeated vice-presidential bet Senator Manuel “Mar” Roxas II has been tapped by President-elect Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III to be part of his transition team.
Aside from Roxas, the other members of the team are incoming Executive Secretary Pacquito Ochoa, former Education Secretary Florencio “Butch” Abad, former Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima, and Abad’s daughter and Aquino’s chief of staff, Julia Abad, said Aquino in his letter to Elena Bautista-Horn, outgoing presidential management staff chief.
Their responsibilities and functions include but are not limited to coordinating arrangement for the inaugural program, ensuring the smooth turn over of Cabinet portfolios, and assist in the accounting, receipt and disposition of relevant records, information, among others.
Aside from Ochoa, Abad and Purisima were also reportedly being considered for Aquino’s Cabinet.
Aquino confirmed that he was considering a Cabinet portfolio for Abad but was mum on Purisima.
