President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Wednesday presided over the oath-taking of former Tourism Secretary Christina Frasco as Presidential Adviser for Sustainable and Resilient Communities at Malacañang Palace.
As adviser, Frasco is tasked with aligning national government initiatives, policies, and programs to promote sustainable and resilient communities. Her mandate covers interventions in disaster risk reduction, climate adaptation, environmental stewardship, and sustainable local development.
She will also coordinate with government agencies, local government units, and stakeholders to ensure effective implementation of presidential directives, while identifying gaps and bottlenecks in achieving national goals.
Frasco, who led the Department of Tourism from 2022 until her new appointment, was described by Malacañang as someone the President continues to trust.
On Tuesday, the Palace emphasized Marcos’ confidence in Frasco’s ability to carry out her responsibilities in strengthening community resilience and sustainability.
