Ayon kay Presidential Spokesman Salvador Panelo, nais kasi ni Esperon na magkaroon ng designation ng cabinet officers para matiyak na naipapaabot sa taong bayan ang basic services at livelihood sa ibat ibang rehiyon.
Sa ganitong paraan din aniya matutulungan ang pamahalaan na matuldukan ang regional at local communists.
“National Security Adviser Hermogenes C. Esperon, Jr. requested that the designation of the Cabinet Officers for Regional Development and Security be formalized through an executive order. This initiative spreads Cabinet officials nationwide and are designated per region to help ending regional and local communists. The CORDS will also be able to help in delivering basic services and livelihood to regions,” ani Panelo.
Ayon pa kay Panelo, ilalabas ng Pangulo ang naturang EO sa lalong madaling panahon.
