\u201cWe join the Filipino Community in New York in congratulating one of our own on her assumption as deputy mayor of one of the more important cities in the world,\u201d Consul General Elmer G. Cato said.\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cWe thank Mayor Eric Adams for giving the Filipino- and Asian-American Community an important role in his administration,\u201d he added.\u00a0<\/p>

Prior to her appointment, Torres-Springer was Vice President for US Programs of the non-profit Ford Foundation.\u00a0<\/p>

Torres-Springer previously served as Commissioner of the Department of Small Business Services and later as Commissioner of the Department of Housing Preservation and Development under Mayor Bill de Blasio.\u00a0<\/p>
