MANILA — Presidential Communications Office (PCO) Acting Chief Cesar Chavez has resigned from his post and will vacate his office on February 28.
Chavez announced that he submitted his resignation letter on February 5.
He expressed that while he will be “signing off” as Acting Communications Secretary, he will not be “signing out as a believer in this administration.”
“I will not be signing out as a believer in this administration, whose vision I will continue to support as I pursue endeavors outside of government but still within the realm of public service,” Chavez stated.
“Although there is much for which I am grateful and a long list of people to thank, I leave with only one regret: in my estimation, I have fallen short of what was expected of me,” he added.
Former broadcaster Jay Ruiz is set to replace him.
Trixie Cruz-Angeles was the first to serve as Press Secretary under the Marcos administration, followed by Cheloy Garafil.
