KINUMPIRMA ni Executive Secretary Vic Rodriguez na nagbitiw siya sa pwesto matapos kumalat sa social media na nakahanap na ng kanyang kapalit si Pangulong Bongbong Marcos.
“I have asked permission to step down as Executive Secretary. There is nothing more rewarding than answering the call to serve the country, a rare privilege not extended to all but was given to me by the President, His Excellency Ferdinand Romualdez
Marcos, Jr.,” ani Rodriguez sa statement.
“The work of an Executive Secretary is a 24/7 job with myriad topics expected to be attended to every day. It demands a sense of urgency which essentially requires almost all of a public servant’s time to ensure that services are met and delivered,” dagdag niya.
“Equally valuable, however, is to witness firsthand your young family grow and evolve into how every parent would wish them to become and they most need me too.
I thank the President for his continuing trust and his sincere understanding of my decision,” aniya pa.
Nauna rito kumalat sa social media ang mga pagbati kay retired Chief Justice Lucas Bersamin bilang bagong Executive Secretary.
Gayunman sinabi ng opisyal na hindi niya aabandonahin si Marcos.
“To the Filipino people, I shall continue serving you and the country as the Presidential Chief of Staff,” hirit ni Rodriguez.
Matatandaang ilang kontrobersiya na ang kinasangkutan ni Rodriguez sa halos tatlong buwan nito sa puwesto, kabilang na ang isyu ng pag-aangkat ng 300,000 metric tons ng asukal.
