Arroyo appointees in key positions after June 2010

Below is a list of appointments made by President Arroyo that will spill over to the next administration. These posts have fixed terms so the appointees are secured of their tenure. The next president will not be able to replace them during that tenure.

These appointments were made before the election ban on presidential appointments started last March 10, 2010.

Below are appointments to positions that are co-terminus with the president. These positions don’t have fixed terms unlike those listed above.

Some of these officials’ appointments are controversial, not because of the few remaining days they will hold on to the position, but because of odd circumstances, including how officials being replaced were dismissed unceremoniuously.

Some of the names below are considered “midnight appointments” since they assumed the positions on the eve of, or too close to, the March 10 ban on presidential appointments.
