Cayetano was in Palawan on Sunday (January 15) to attend Life Church Organization’s Sunday worship at the City Coliseum. In an ambush interview following the event, he was asked by local reporters if he would accept President Rodrigo Duterte’s offer for him to be the next Foreign Affairs Secretary.
The senator clarified that he is yet to accept a formal offer from the President, and stressed that right now, he remains focused on “preparing for different jobs.”
He added that he plans to discuss the matter with the President in April or May. He said he would gladly accept whatever assignment he is offered by then.
If President Duterte decides to appoint him for the cabinet post, the senator said he would be willing to help the administration achieve its goal of creating genuine reforms for the country.

“Ayokong pangunahan ang Pangulo o sinumang Secretary... I think they’re all performing well... Pero kung anong sabihin ng Pangulo sa mga susunod na buwan, I’d be happy to help,” he said.
“Tingnan natin kung pagdating ng May o June, ‘yun pa rin ang… pinakamabuti o makakatulong ako doon. Kasi kumukuha ka ng posisyon para makadagdag ka, hindi para makabawas… Kung sa tingin ng Pangulo, meron akong maidadagdag sa departamento, malugod kong tatanggapin,” Cayetano added.
