“[As for] the rest… I hope they are still finding discernment, if they are going to file or not. Maybe they are waiting for the Jan. 31 deadline. We are hopeful they will eventually submit their courtesy resignations,” Azurin said.
“We are expecting that they will maintain their impeccable character and integrity so that the result of all their evaluation will be acceptable to everyone,” he said. “And I saw that he really did the right thing to call for a courtesy resignation based on all of this information that he gathered,” he added.
By Jan. 9, there were close to 600 courtesy resignations. On Jan. 13, Abalos said 130 generals and 774 colonels had submitted their courtesy resignations.
