In a statement, Presidential Communications Operations Office head Herminio Coloma Jr. said Juico’s resignation will take effect upon formal written acceptance by President Benigno Aquino III.
However, a source from Juico’s office told GMA News Online they have yet to be formally informed of their principal’s resignation.
“President Aquino thanks outgoing PCSO Chairperson Margarita Juico for her dedicated service to the government and the Filipino people. As an esteemed family friend, President Aquino wishes her well on her decision to end her stint in public service,” Coloma said.
However, Coloma did not cite any reason for Juico’s resignation.
Juico had served the administration of late President Corazon Aquino, the mother of President Benigno Aquino III, and then went on to serve in the PCSO board in succeeding administrations. She assumed as PCSO chairperson in July 2010. — Kimberly Jane T. Tan with a report from Amanda Fernandez /LBG, GMA News
