Nilinaw ni Presidential Spokesperson at Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador Panelo na mananatili parin ang Presidential Communications Operations Office na pinamumunuan ni Secretary Martin Andanar hanggang sa ma-established na ang Office of the Press Secretary o OPS.
Itinalaga si Panelo bilang presidential spokesman matapos ihayag ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte na tuloy ang pagtakbo ni dating palace spokesman sec. Harry Roqu bilang senador.
Una nang sinabi ng chief executive na kanya ring ikinukonsidera na gawing head ng OPS si Atty. Panelo.
Samantalang, posible namang italaga bilang presidential adviser for political affairs si Sec. Andanar.
