Paul Soriano is no longer the Presidential Adviser for Creative Communications, as announced by Senator Sonny Angara during the plenary debate on the proposed budget for the Office of the President for the year 2024.
Senator Angara shared this information while discussing allocations and plans for the coming year, highlighting a significant change in President Duterte’s office, particularly in the field of communication and the arts.
Paul Soriano is a well-known director and film producer in the Filipino film industry. He served as an adviser to the President for Creative Communications, aiming to strengthen the role of arts and culture in the country. However, according to Senator Angara, there has been a change in Soriano’s position.
The reasons for Soriano’s departure from the position are unclear, but Senator Angara mentioned that it is part of the President’s cabinet reorganization. The senator expressed his acceptance of the President’s decision and hoped that the next leader would continue to advocate for arts and culture in the country.
With Paul Soriano no longer serving as the Presidential Adviser for Creative Communications, the new leader will have the opportunity to continue Soriano’s initiated projects and promote new initiatives for the development of arts and culture in the Philippines.
Paul Soriano’s departure opens a new chapter in the field of arts and communication under President Duterte’s administration. Hopefully, the new leader will navigate this path smoothly and meaningfully, continuing to emphasize the importance of arts in the national consciousness.
