Weird excuses for appointments

Malacañang has come out to state that the name of Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Chief Jesse Robredo, along with two others, Labor Chief Rosalinda Baldoz and Environment Chief Ramon Paje, has not been included in the list of Cabinet secretaries to be confirmed by the Commission on Appointments (CA).
The reason? Robredo’s appointment papers state that he has been appointed by Noynoy as acting DILG secretary, and thus, does not need confirmation.
From Robredo’s reaction, he apparently is completely clueless on this “acting” capacity status of him, and so were the other Cabinet appointees.
But surely, when a Cabinet member is appointed by the chief executive, he would have a copy, if not the original document that makes his appointment formal and official?
