MANILA – President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has appointed Richard Anthony Fadullon as prosecutor general of the National Prosecution Service (NPS) of the Department of Justice (DOJ), Malacañang announced Monday.

Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin transmitted the appointment letter of Fadullon to Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla in a letter dated October 30.

Prior to his new appointment, Fadullon served as Senior Deputy State Prosecutor for several years.

Meanwhile, Remulla expressed his full confidence over the appointment of Fadullon.

“I am extremely confident in your skill, experience and resolve that you are the perfect fit for the title of Prosecutor General capable of upholding the rule of law with fearlessness and utmost integrity,” Remulla told Fadullon in a statement. (with a report from Benjamin Pulta/PNA)
