FORMER Defense officer-in-charge Carlito Galvez Jr., has been appointed by President Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos Jr. as Presidential Adviser on Peace, Reconciliation, and Unity.
Galvez held the same position during the Duterte administration and before he was appointed as OIC of the Department of National Defense.
The Presidential Communications Office on Monday said Isidro Purisima was also named as senior undersecretary of the Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace, Reconciliation, and Unity.
In a statement issued by the OPAPRU over the weekend, Galvez said he was told by the President that he was reappointed to help in pushing forward the Bangsamoro peace process because “this is where his heart is.”
Galvez acknowledged the remarkable economic progress in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao as he recommended the revival of what he described as “sealane of commerce” in the southern portion of the country.
