Julis Espat, Minister of Home Affairs: “I met the main commander and each one had a portfolio or has a portfolio. They basically introduced themselves and explained what they do and what the portfolio entails. So it was a good meeting. Every organization needs to move on with time. I believe they need more resources strategically positioned.”
