MANILA, Philippines — Civil Service Commission Commissioner Aileen Lizada wants the spouses and families of Philippine ambassadors to undergo proper briefings on what they can and cannot do while on postings abroad.

This comes after the wife of Philippine envoy to Saudi Arabia Arabia Adnan Alonto was filmed campaigning for presidential aspirant Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. and even suggesting that domestic workers "flirt" with their employers to allow them to go out and vote.
