Tiu said the mega projects are "still a go" despite his resignation.

"Too many opportunities in agriculture that I cannot possibly not optimize. With food security being VERY important at this point for our country," Tiu told ABS-CBN News.

"It is the best time to fully refocus my attention on agri-based projects," he said.

Tiu is also the Chairman of AgriNurture Inc. He said his dream is to inspire young farmers.

"There is no better time than now to be part of a bigger and more proactive agri agenda," he said.
