Reacting to the appointment, Domagoso said he was grateful for Duterte's trust in him.

"Malugod po akong nagpapasalamat sa muling pagtitiwala na ipinagkaloob sa atin ng ating Pangulong Duterte," Domagoso said.

"Malaking trabaho at responsibilidad po ito ngunit gagawin ko po ang lahat upang magampanan ang aking tungkulin inatang sa 'tin sa abot ng aking makakaya para sa mga nangangailan natin mga mahihirap na kababayan," he added.

A former Manila vice mayor, Domagoso quit as chairman and member of the board of directors of Northrail last October, just three months after his appointment, citing personal reasons.

The President, meanwhile, appointed Gerard Camiña as board member of the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), Antonio Joselito Lambino II as assistant secretary of the Department of Finance (DOF), and Sherwin Rigor as undersecretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).  —KBK, GMA News
