KIDAPAWAN CITY (Dec 6) – Cotabato Governor Nancy Catamco has re-appointed for the third time Attorney Jonah Denaque-Meneses to be the provincial government’s legal officer after the latter’s appointment was denied on Tuesday by the Sangguniang Panlalawigan.

Catamco said that at this time, she can’t find the right person to handle the Provincial Legal Office other than Meneses.“I believed Attorney Jonah was able to submit to the council the documents, and for sure, she passed the minimum requirements set by the CSC . I just [can’t] understand why her confirmation was still denied,” the governor said.

Obello was even charged with cyber libel when he allegedly uttered “malicious” statements against Sanggunian presiding officer Vice Governor Lala Talino-Mendoza over his blocktime radio program when his confirmation was denied twice in July. Catamco hinted Meneses was denied her concurrence because of “personal issues” allegedly involving documents related to the re-opening of the construction of the multi-million rural airport in M’lang, Cotabato.

“If they used as basis [for] the denial these personal issues they hurled against Atty. Jonah, then they are like encroaching my authority as the governor of the province,” said Catamco.

Malacañang claims SWS slanted survey on foreign Chinese workersMalacañang on Friday, December 6, tried to discredit a recent SWS survey showing that most Filipinos are worried about the influx of foreign Chinese workers, claiming that the poll body slanted its questions. If SWS slants the questions that means to say that all popularity polls for Duterte should also be discredited - it's the same SWS, no changes.
