“Si Secretary Piñol will be leaving the agriculture department. Because we have created BARMM, a new political entity… I’d like a point man there in the likes of Secretary Piñol,” he said. “I’m not saying it’s not moving, but they are so slow that I really need a point man in the likes of Secretary Piñol,” he said. Before Duterte arrived, Piñol also declined to answer questions from the media about his possible departure from the Cabinet. Duterte arrived at the complex at 5:58 p.m. from Ormoc City, Leyte, where he also inaugurated the Ormoc Airport Development Project.
