Malacañang named on Monday National Housing Authority general manager Marcelino Escada Jr. as a temporary secretary general also of the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council.

"It's just a designation. So in the meantime he will perform functions of SecGen in addition to his primary duties as NHA GM," said Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea.

Last week,  President Rodrigo Duterte fired HUDCC Secretary-General Falconi Millar following complaint he allegedly tried to extort money from a company involved in one of the agency's projects.

Millar, however, claimed that he was a victim of a demolition job. Celerina Monte/DMS
