DAVAO CITY, Philippines鈥擯resident Rodrigo Duterte聽on Friday聽said his administration is currently searching for ambassadors, who could represent the country to the United Nations (UN) and to the United States (US).
He said during a Cabinet meeting last Tuesday, there was a suggestion that Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana should become the country鈥檚 ambassador to the UN but he declined.
Duterte said the vacancies should be filled but that he wanted the right candidates.
