(Eagle News)– President Rodrigo is set to appoint Kariton Klasrum founder Efren Peñaflorida as a commissioner of the Presidential Commission for the Urban Poor.

Duterte made the announcement days after he fired commissioners of the agency, including its chair, left-leaning Terry Ridon.

Duterte made the move after Ridon traveled seven times outside the country since he was assigned to the commission in September.

The President said the PCUP just met two to three times despite it being a collegial body.
