MANILA\u00a0— Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana welcomed the appointment of former Armed Forces chief-of-staff Eduardo A\u00f1o as officer-in-charge of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), saying he believes the military official would bring his dedication and professionalism to the agency.<\/p>\n

“I congratulate Ed A\u00f1o on his designation as OIC DILG. I am sure that with his dedication to duty, professionalism and experience in the military, he will succeed as the head of DILG,” Lorenzana said.<\/p>\n

A\u00f1o, a member of Philippine Military Academy Class of 1983, retired last Oct. 26 after reaching the mandatory retirement age of 56.<\/p>\n

Prior to his retirement as Armed Forces chief, the military successfully liberated Marawi City from the hands of the Maute Group terrorists who controlled the area for five months.<\/p>\n

During A\u00f1o’s retirement ceremony, President Rodrigo Duterte named him as DILG’s incoming chief.<\/p>\n

“I am sure we will have an excellent work(ing relationship). It would have been better if he is now full-time Secretary but the law does not allow it until after one year from retirement date,” Lorenzana added.<\/p>\n

A\u00f1o’s appointment as DILG officer-in-charge was signed by Duterte on January 4.<\/p>\n
