ZAMBOANGA CITY: President Rodrigo Duterte recently appointed former Zamboanga City councilor Myra Paz Valderoza-Abubakar as Assistant Secretary for Mindanao of the Department of Tourism (DOT). Abubakar, who served as a three-term member of the Sangguniang Panglungsod, was earlier named DOST regional director for Zamboanga Peninsula.
