I WELCOME with much delight the news today, November 14, 2024, that President Marcos Jr., just appointed Joe Torres, just recently the director general, Philippine Information Agency (PIA), as my replacement as Executive Director, Presidential Task Force on Media Security (PTFOMS).

Like me, Usec. Joe has spent most of his life as a journalist and in promoting the welfare and rights of all members of the press. The PTFoMS is definitely in good hands.

I also call on all government agency partners of the PTFoMS and all its media partners and stakeholders to throw their full support behind his leadership.

More success to you, Usec. Joe Torres! Mabuhay ka!

Usec. PAUL M. GUTIERREZ
