                    [Summary] => President Arroyo has named Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC) Chairman Michael Defensor as her official campaign spokesman.


Defensor, the youngest member in the Arroyo Cabinet, confirmed his appointment to The STAR yesterday but stressed the President simply gave him the task.


"But we’re not in the campaign mode yet," he said. "The President would like to stay focused on good governance for the remaining months before the campaign," Defensor said.
