MANILA, Philippines — Three resignations from the Marcos administration in its first 100 days should prompt better vetting of potential appointees to government posts, Rep. Edcel Lagman (Albay) said Wednesday.

 

Lagman, recently elected president of the minority Liberal Party, said that while appointments to the Cabinet are the chief executive's prerogative, he must be "discerning and cautious in the exercise" of that power. 

 

"When Cabinet secretaries so early in their tenure vacate their posts, either voluntarily or forcibly, then the vetting process on their appointments is grossly wanting," he said in a statement sent to reporters. "Public funds must not be wasted on the emoluments of undeserving functionaries."
