"ONE OF THE BEST SECRETARIES"

Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea considered Department of Transportation (DOTr) Secretary Art Tugade as ‘one of the best Secretaries’ of the administration of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte.

According to Secretary Medialdea, Secretary Tugade's works, efforts, and initiatives at the DOTr since the start of the Duterte administration in 2016 are commendable and have benefitted the country.

“Secretary Art is one of the best government officials I’ve seen. Nakita n’yo naman ngayon ang resulta ng kanyang mga ginagawa, hanggang Coast Guard abot," Secretary Medialdea said during the donning and oath-taking of newly-appointed and promoted members of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) Auxiliary Executive Squadron on 02 June 2022.

"Naging DOTr Secretary s'ya. Magaling na DOTr Secretary. At tuwing nakikita s'ya ng Pangulo, wala nang sinasabi ang Pangulo kundi purihin s'ya," the Palace official added.

Secretary Medialdea likewise commended the men and women of Coast Guard, including the Auxiliarists, for their dedication and commitment in serving the public.

"The PCG is an organization that has gone above and beyond its call of duty in ensuring the security of the country's maritime borders," Secretary Medialdea remarked.

Secretary Tugade thanked Secretary Medialdea for the recognition. "Nagpapasalamat ako kay Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte sa tiwala n'ya sa akin, gayundin sa suporta ng gobyerno, kasama si Secretary Medialdea, sa mga proyekto ng DOTr. Ang mga nagawa natin ay bahagi ng legasiya ng Duterte administration," he said.
