Marcos has tapped Roderico Rayo Bioco as the new acting administrator and member of the National Food Authority (NFA) Council.

He replaced Judy Dansal, who was appointed by Duterte in 2019.

The President also appointed Rita Espina Riddle as an acting member of the Board of Trustees of the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS).

They both took oath of office before Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin on Wednesday, Jan. 18.

The new administrator of the Intramuros Administration, Joan Masilang Padilla, also took her oath on the same day.

The Palace has been announcing a string of appointments of the chief executive. This is the third set of officials sworn into office this week.

Prior to this Marcos made appointments at the Commission on Filipinos Overseas, GSIS, and Anti-Red Tape Authority.

Last week, Marcos also appointed several government officials to various positions such as the Office of the Senior Deputy Executive Secretary under the Office of the President, Social Security Commission of the Social Security System, Philippine Competition Commission, and Development Bank of the Philippines.
