President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. has tapped film director Paul Soriano as his presidential adviser on creative communications.

This was confirmed by Office of the Press Secretary officer-in-charge and Undersecretary Cheloy Velicaria-Garafil on Monday, Oct. 17.

"Confirmed. Will take his oath later," Garafil said.

Palace has yet to release Soriano’s appointment papers or clarify what his job description would be under the post.

Soriano, husband of Toni Gonzaga, was the one behind Marcos' campaign ads last May elections.

He also directed the President’s first State of the Nation Address (SONA) and consulted in his inauguration.
