The Palace said that ''we has not seen any signs'' that Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel will be replaced.

Palace Press Officer Claire Castro made the comment over The Big Story Friday night, hours after Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin said members of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr's economic team will be retained.

Kept were Trade and Industry Secretary Cristina Roque, Economy, Planning and Development Secretary Arsenio Balisacan, Finance Secretary Ralph Recto, Budget and Management Secretary Amenah Pangandaman and Presidential Adviser for Investment and Economic Secretary Frederick Go.

Roque and Go held talks with US officials recently in Washington to discuss the tariffs announced by US President Donald Trump.

Castro said on Wednesday, the Palace will be announcing how many officials have been retained. DMS
