MANILA, Philippines—Energy Secretary Jose Rene Almendras on Wednesday got the nod of the powerful Commission on Appointments in the committee level.
The commission's committee on energy unanimously approved on Wednesday a motion recommending Almedra's confirmation to the plenary, which is expected to act on the committee's decision later in the day.
Almendras was the second Cabinet member whose appointment was confirmed by the CA at the committee level.
Unlike Almendras, however, Trade Secretary Gregory Domingo's confirmation by the CA's committee on trade and industry was finished in just one hearing Wednesday.
There was no opposition to Almendras's appointment from the CA members but a lot of questions have been raised since the body started deliberating his appointment late last year.
