MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Now that the Commission on Appointments has rejected Judy Taguiwalo as Secretary of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), President Duterte has released his shortlist of possible appointees to the Cabinet post.

In keeping with the ‘grassroots’ qualities of Taguiwalo, Duterte’s list includes:

• Mutya ng Masa and ABS-CBN reporter Doris Bigornia 
• Tsinelas Queen Korina Sanchez 
• Queen of All Media Kris Aquino
• Wildflower’s Emilia Ardiente, Queen of Taray

Queen of Laylayan VP Leni Robredo was dropped from the list because she might just quit the Cabinet post again like she did when she was appointed Housing Czar by Duterte.
