Presidential Communications Office Ad Interim Secretary Jay Ruiz addresses the recent memorandum requesting unqualified courtesy resignations from all presidential appointees under the PCO, clarifying that the move is a standard procedure and not personal.
Presidential Communications Office (PCO) Ad Interim Secretary Jay Ruiz stated that the memorandum requesting unqualified courtesy resignations from all presidential appointees in agencies, offices, and bureaus under the PCO is a standard procedure. Ruiz explained that this practice allows the new PCO secretary a 'free hand' in selecting their team and building trust.
He emphasized that the decision is not personal and that a thorough evaluation of each office's performance will be conducted before any further action is taken. Ruiz mentioned that the assessment process could take two to three weeks to complete. The memorandum, issued by Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin, emphasized the need for the new PCO secretary to have a 'free hand' in fulfilling their duties and implementing their policies. All affected appointees are required to submit their resignations to the PCO secretary by February 28, 2025.Ruiz recently assumed his role as the new PCO chief last week, taking his oath of office administered by President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. He succeeded Cesar Chavez, who resigned after acknowledging that he had not met the expectations of his position
