PRESIDENT Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has named retired Court of Appeals (CA) Justice Melchor Sadang as the new chairman of the Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG).

The Presidential Communications Office (PCO) announced Sadang’s new designation in a Facebook post on Monday, along with the latest batch of appointments made by Marcos in at least 13 government agencies.

Under the supervision of the Department of Justice, the PCGG serves as an anti-corruption agency tasked to investigate graft and corruption cases of public officials and institute measures to prevent unlawful practices in government.

Sadang served as a CA magistrate from 2011 to 2017 and a presiding judge of the Cavite City Regional Trial Court from 2000 to 2011.
