PBBM rejects ES Bersamin's courtesy resignation

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. rejected the courtesy resignation of Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin.

Bersamin stated that the demand for courtesy resignations is an "honorable" way for officials to step down if they do not meet the President's expectations, deeming it more humane than simply dismissing them.

He emphasized that this process allows officials to accept the decision, ending any debate.

Bersamin assured that the evaluation process aligns with the President's goal to improve government performance and ensure the effectiveness of programs and projects.

He also noted that evaluating Cabinet secretaries individually is necessary due to their differing responsibilities and burdens, even though the President desires immediate action.
