MANILA, Philippines – President Rodrigo Duterte appointed Noel Felongco, who formerly headed the Presidential Commission for the Urban Poor (PCUP), as lead convenor of the National Anti-Poverty Commission (NAPC).
Felongco, whose appointment paper was signed on October 31, will take the post vacated by leftist Liza Maza who resigned last April to protest the cancellation of peace talks with communists and Duterte’s close ties to the Marcos family.
Taking Felongco’s place at PCUP is Alvin Feliciano, formerly Technical Education and Skills Development Authority deputy director-general.
Before chairing PCUP, Felongco was undersecretary for solid waste management at the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
He is a key ally of Duterte in the Visayas, having served as president of the PDP-Laban Central Visayas chapter. He was also born in Davao City, Duterte’s hometown.
