MANILA, Philippines — The reshuffling of top officials at two government financial institutions was aimed at improving these lenders’ services, the head of the Duterte administration’s economic team said.
Finance Secretary Carlos G. Dominguez III told finance beat reporters in a Viber message Wednesday that President Rodrigo Duterte’s appointment of Cecilia C. Borromeo to the board of the state-run Land Bank of the Philippines (Landbank) as well as Emmanuel G. Herbosa’s appointment to the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) board, in place of Borromeo, will “improve service to the public.”
Borromeo was DBP president but had also worked at the Landbank. Herbosa was president and chief executive officer of Philippine Guarantee Corp.
