GMA replacing officials en masseBy Paolo Romero and Pia Lee-Brago, The Philippine Star | 03/26/2010 6:36 PM
MANILA, Philippines - After getting the green light from the Supreme Court (SC) to appoint the next chief justice, President Arroyo has apparently gone on an appointing spree, naming an ambassador, several officials of government agencies, and replacing the entire boards of two cultural institutions with barely three months left in her term and despite the constitutional ban on midnight appointments.
The President also appointed retired Sandiganbayan justice Raoul Victorino as chief presidential legal counsel, replacing Natividad Dizon, who had held the post for only two weeks. Dizon was moved to the Board of Pardons and Parole.
