President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Friday appointed seasoned career diplomat Enrique Manalo as Foreign Affairs secretary replacing Teodoro Locsin Jr. Manalo took his oath before Marcos in Malacañang on Friday.
Manalo, 69, became acting Foreign Affairs secretary from March 9 to May 17, 2017, after Perfecto Yasay failed to get the confirmation of the bicameral Commission on Appointments as DFA secretary.
The top job landed on his lap at a challenging time - a new administration and having to deal with the ongoing territorial disputes with China in the South China Sea. He also served as non-resident envoy to Ireland, and ambassador to Belgium, Luxembourg and head of the Philippine Mission to the European Union in Feb. 2010 to Oct. 2011. Manalo was also ambassador and Permanent Representative to the Philippine Mission to the United Nations and other International Organizations in Geneva from Oct. 2003 to July 2007.
Before joining the Foreign Service, Manalo was a research assistant and later on officer at the National Economic and Development Authority.
