“ES Bersamin persuaded him not to, but he reasoned his worsening health condition,” the PCO said.

Defending the controversial sugar imports, Agriculture Senior Undersecretary Domingo Panganiban last month insisted that there was “nothing irregular” in the importation. Sugar industry leaders said they believe the SRA will continue fulfilling its mandate of promoting the growth of the industry’s development despite Alba’s resignation.

National Federation of Sugarcane Planters Inc. president Enrique Rojas questioned the timing of Alba’s resignation amid the controversial sugar importation order but said that he respected the SRA chief’s decision. Edison Lee and All Asian refused to comment when asked for a reaction to the controversy by the Inquirer. S&D Sucden could not be reached.
