Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin “Boying” Remulla has formally submitted his courtesy resignation, aligning himself with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s directive aimed at reorganizing the Cabinet to ensure a more focused and politically neutral government.
In a statement, Remulla expressed his full support for the President’s efforts to restructure the administration, emphasizing the need for a leadership team committed solely to public service.
“My resignation reflects my support for the President’s vision of a government dedicated to genuine service, free from political interests,” Remulla said.
He also reiterated his continued loyalty to the administration’s reform agenda, pledging to stand by its goals even after stepping down. Remulla assured the public that his commitment to justice and the welfare of the Filipino people remains unwavering.
The call for courtesy resignations is part of President Marcos’ initiative to assess the performance of Cabinet officials and make adjustments to strengthen the government’s ability to deliver on its promises.
Further announcements regarding leadership changes within the Cabinet are expected in the coming days.
