Romulo ‘open’ to any offer Romulo ‘open’ to any offer
By Michaela P. del Callar 06/02/2010 Foreign Affairs Secretary Alberto Romulo yesterday openly declared that he will accept any post that will be offered to him by President-apparent Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III. Only two weeks ago, Romulo dodged questions from the media on the possibility of him being re-appointed as Foreign Affairs Secretary or if he is open to accepting another Cabinet post. But in an interview with reporters at the 112th founding anniversary rites of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), he said he would welcome any position that will be assigned to him by Aquino if he will be asked to join his administration. Romulo even joked that he is willing to serve under Aquino as a “clerk.” “He has got moral ascendancy. We should all support him. He has continued what Tita Cory did. I served under Tita Cory. If offered, I will be honored to serve again (under an Aquino administration), even as just a clerk,” he said. Romulo was the late former President Corazon “Cory” Aquino’s Budget secretary. But sources at the DFA said there is a possibility that Romulo might be offered an ambassadorial post, either as Philippine envoy to Washington or the country’s permanent representative to the United Nations.
