Kaufman, Karl

President Rodrigo Duterte has filled several vacancies in government including Energy Regulatory Commission commissioner and the post vacated by actor Cesar Montano at the Tourism Promotions Board.
Duterte appointed Catherine Maceda as ERC commissioner on September 11 for a seven-year term that ends in July 2025, according to appointment papers released by MalacaƱang on Monday.
Maceda replaced Alfredo Non who retired from the position on July 10.  She completed the five-man body headed by former Justice Secretary Agnes Devanadera.
The President also named Marie Venus Tan director to the TPB, replacing Montano who resigned on May 22 amid a Department of Tourism investigation into the questioned P80-million funding that the TPB gave Buhay Carinderia, a culinary tourism program.
Tan would serve Montano's unexpired term that began on July 1, 2018 and will end on June 30, 2019.
Duterte also appointed retired police general Diosdado Valeroso and Ferdinando Sevilla as executive director of Department of the Interior and Local Government's Emergency 911 national office and vice president for administration of Philippine Public Safety College, respectively.
The other appointees were assigned to the Departments of Environment and Natural Resources, National Defense, Finance, Agrarian Reform and Foreign Affairs. —KBK, GMA News
