TULAD ng inaasahan ay walang kahirap-hirap na pumasa sa Commission on Appointments (CA) ang interim appointment ni dating senador at ngayo’y Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) Secretary Gregorio Honasan II.

Nagkakaisa ang mga senador na ibigay kay Honasan ang posisyon nito nang walang anumang balakid.

Kabilang sa mga nag-endorso kay Honasan sina Senate Majority Leader Migs Zubiri, Senador Cynthia Villar, Senador Joel Villanueva, Senador Bong Go at Senador Ramon Revilla Jr.

“Secretary Honasan has, so far, 44 years of experience in public service. More than half of which, 21 years, as a senator and the remaining years as a military officer. He served four terms here in this august chamber from 1995 to early this year, during the 17th Congress. He was chairman of various Senate committees including Energy, Labor, Environment, Defense, Public Order and Dangerous Drugs, Agrarian Reform, Sports, Public Information and Mass Media,” sabi ni Villar.

Sinabi naman ni Villanueva na malaki ang tiwala nito kay Honasan na masosolusyunan  ang mabagal na internet sa bansa.

Ayon naman kay Zubiri, kilala si  Honasan bilang ‘trabahador o taumbayan’ at isang tunay na public servant.
