PRESIDENT RODRIGO R. Duterte met with Bureau of Customs (BoC) Chief Nicanor E. Faeldon yesterday afternoon at Malacañang, giving him full support despite the controversy over a P6.4-billion illegal drug shipment. “The Chief Executive has expressed his full confidence in Commissioner Faeldon and told him to focus on serving the country,” Finance Secretary Carlos G. Dominguez III, who was also present at the meeting, said in a statement sent to Malacañang reporters. The BoC is an attached agency of the Department of Finance. Aside from Mr. Faeldon and Mr. Dominguez, Internal Revenue Commissioner Caesar A. Dulay and Executive Secretary Salvador C. Medialdea were also at the meeting. — Ian Nicolas P. Cigaral
