A jubilant yet cautious Pinol announced his appointment as the incoming DA Chief by the presumptive President Rody Duterte in his latest Facebook post.
In a Facebook post shared more than 3000 times as of Tuesday morning, the former North Cotabato Governor declared his surprised announcement as the incoming Secretary of the Department of Agriculture by no less than the presumptive President Rodrigo Duterte during a meeting in Davao City.
The former Governor Manny Pinol said he was quite taken aback by the appointment since he did not lobby for the position despite being one of the ardent campaigner of Mayor Duterte in the social media months before the Duterte phenomenon became an unstoppable force in the social media.
Former Governor Pinol recalled that he had no appointment with the presumptive President Rody Duterte when Sen. Allan Peter Cayetano saw him carrying a conversation with Bong Go. It was then that the Senator called him up and asked Pinol to join their group.
Shortly, former Congresswoman Andrea “Didi” Domingo has been introduced to the reporters by the presumptive president as new head of PAGCOR during the meeting. Subsequently, Mayor Duterte introduced the former Governor as the incoming Department of Agriculture Secretary.
Manny Pinol expressed elated with the appointment as the incoming DA Chief since he said he could now do what he thought is the real job of an Agriculture official in the country: to produce food for the people.
Wow, now I will be able to do what I had long wanted our agriculture officials to do which is to produce more food for the Filipinos and improve the lives of our farmers.
At the same time, the former Governor of North Cotabato who is a successful farmer himself, aside from being a boxing commentator on TV said that the task ahead of him is a challenging one since the marching order from the presumptive president is: “Ensure available and affordable food for the Filipinos,” and “No Corruption in the DA.”
In addition, he expressed sadness that he will be leaving his farm again.
There will be sacrifices to be made like leaving my farm again to the care of people who have worked with me for so long and not seeing my chicken and plants everyday.
He is asking prayers from the people so that he could fulfill the big mission the presumptive president has entrusted him in the next six years.
What are your thoughts on this?

Great to hear , good people are coordinating and coming and trying to solved the real problem of the country and our people hunger of the poor ..long live president DUTERTE , and all his and will appoint people on his cabinets with one goal in mind our country and its citizen ..
Perfect choice. I believe sir Manny can live up to the expectation. Be part of the big change our beloved mayor, the presumptive President, had consistently said in his campaign. Everybody in the government must do their fair share to achieve what the people in this country longed for: The real change that geared towards true and sustainable development. Kudos to you DA secretary.
congratulations sir manny wer so very happy that ur back to serve your people not only in the province of north cotabato but to the entire Filipino people of the Philippines.
Good luck Mr.Manny Pinol.May God guide you and give you wisdom for the good of the Filipino people specially the farmers.
I think he is more capable of doing the job since he himself is a farmer and he knows the grievances of his fellow farmer.
Good choice President Mayor
A man of walk than talk. The change begins in providing food for us, the poor and marginalized citizens of this country. Daghang Salamat sa pagdawat sa position Gov Manny.
With the help of Our Almighty GOD accompanied by/with your strong faith that you can….yes you can help improve of our marginal farmers and fisherfolks by way of assisting them financially,technically,and spiritually ..Thank You so much Almighty GOD in the mighty name of Our LORD JESUS…
Like duterte, pinol should’ve won the hearts of north cotabatenos and until now he should have been the governor. Ask the people, why? Did he really contribute to the poverty alleviation of ncot? What had he done in agriculture when he was a governor? What did he do to the lumads in ncot.? Are you sure he is not corrupt? Why is he interested with that great power? Is it really his advocacy? What are the effects of his insinuations on the peace and order of our region? I hope he changed for the better. We will just wait and see.
I dont know i feel like crying when i read this article and the Byaheng Bukid journal of sir Manny Pinol . Tears of hope, future.and joy! God bless you sir and may you finish.the.race holding the prize.at.the.end . For the sake of all our.countrymen! Mabuhay po kayo!!
