#RapplerRecap
@newsdwight .@newsdwight: Tuloy ang drug war, ayon kay Abalos – magiging kasing intensive gaya ng dati. Pero ang pangako niya, ang anti-narcotics campaign ng bagong administrasyon ay naaayon sa Konstitusyon. #RapplerRecap
.@newsdwight: Magiging kasing dugo ba ito ng giyera kontra ng administrasyon Duterte? Nag-sidestep si Abalos sa tanong, pero binigyang-diin niya: "The drug war will be pursued relentlessly. #RapplerRecap
Abalos: "It’s not about quantity but quality of arrests. Dapat iyong kukunin mo will stand in court, with proof beyond reasonable doubt." | via @newsdwight #RapplerRecap

Press Secretary Trixie Cruz-Angeles asked if there's a deadline for the Cabinet to be complete (no chief for DOH, DOE so far): "Wala pong binibigay sa amin na sinasabing deadline (no deadline given so far)." But adds: "I don’t think it will take too long." | via @beacupin
@beacupin Asked if people have been offered posts, particularly in the DOH, Sec Angeles says no information yet.

Why the delay, considering there's still a pandemic? Angeles says: "You must also understand that this is so important… they must look closely at the candidates." | @beacupin
No EO 1 for the Marcos presidency yet, says Angeles.

Asked about planned state visits, Angeles no concrete plans for those yet since Marcos is "busy building the Cabinet." | via @beacupin
