The government has appointed Edwin Palma as the *ad-hoc* Minister of Labor and Housing, replacing Antonio Sanguino. Sanguino’s departure is to address a recusal request filed against him, prompting the ministerial shift. Simultaneously, Ruth Quedo has been designated to preside over the Regulatory Commission for Public Services (CRA). Quedo’s primary responsibility will be to lead discussions surrounding the country’s tariff framework. This dual announcement signals a strategic response to both legal challenges and ongoing regulatory matters. The changes aim to maintain operational continuity within key governmental sectors. These appointments are expected to influence policy decisions in labor, housing, and public utility regulation.
