    MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED) – President Rodrigo Duterte said on Tuesday,

    October 9, that Foreign Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano has plans to run in the 2019
    elections, prompting the Chief Executive to seek his replacement.

    "Alan Peter Cayetano is also running and (Guiling) Mamondiong at Tesda is also
    running," Duterte said in a Palace press conference on Tuesday.

    Since Cayetano would have to resign by October 17, the last day of filing of certificates
    of candidacies for the May 2019 elections, Duterte said he had found a new foreign
    secretary, which he chose not to name just yet.

    "I have a name. He agreed, but he did not authorize me to name him now," said
    Duterte.

    He said Cayetano will run for Taguig representative.

    Senator Cynthia Villar earlier confirmed that incumbent Taguig Represenative Pia
    Cayetano, the foreign secretary's sister, will run for the Senate next year.

    Duterte confirmed that aside from Cayetano and Technical Education and Skills
    Development Authority (Tesda) chief Guiling Mamondiong, other Cabinet members who
    would seek elective posts in 2019 are Agrarian Reform Secretary John Castriciones,
    Presidential Political Adviser Francis Tolentino, Special Assistant to the President Bong
    Go, and Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque. (READ: Cabinet revamp looms as 6 to 8

    Who would be his new spokesperson if Roque resigns? The President said he had

    Asked what post he planned to give Panelo, Duterte said: "I'm going to reorganize.
    Press secretary."

    There's a proposal in the Senate to revert the Presidential Communications Operations


    Office to the Office of the Press Secretary.

    Duterte said given his plan for Panelo, he would need to look for a new chief Palace
    counsel.

    Duterte also revealed that Roque planned to resign, not only because of his 2019 plans,
    but because he felt bad that he was kept out of the loop. (READ: Duterte asks Roque to

    "He said he would resign because he did not know I was in the hospital. He was not
    informed.... He felt he was placed in a bad light, like he was lying," said the President.

    But it later on became unclear if Roque would resign because Duterte said: "Hindi na
    siya tatakbo. Hindi ko na alam kung saan siya ilalagay (He isn't running anymore so
    now I don't know where to put him)."

    Presidential Communications Secretary Martin Andanar had earlier confirmed that


    Roque was offered the position of press secretary.

    With Panelo likely getting the post, what will happen to Andanar? Duterte said he would
    keep him on as a "consultant."

    "He will remain a consultant. So many things they have to reconfigure in PTV4, many
    changes there probably to make it more responsive," said Duterte. – Rappler.com
