MANILA — Davao City Rep. Paolo Duterte confirmed Thursday the resignation of his chief of staff and his other legislative personnel for reasons still unclear. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Davao City 1st District Representative and House Deputy Speaker Paolo Z. Duterte issued a short statement regarding the supposed mass resignation of his congressional staff at the House of Representatives.— RG Cruz, ABS-CBN News (@R_G_Cruz888) <a href="https://twitter.com/R_G_Cruz888/status/1298893962040578049?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 27, 2020</a></blockquote><div><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charSet="utf-8" type="text/javascript"></script></div>The lawmaker, President Rodrigo Duterte&#x27;s son, issued the statement after a news report came out claiming that a &quot;mass resignation&quot; took place at his office. Prior to Duterte&#x27;s confirmation, ACT-CIS party-list Rep. Eric Yap already told reporters that he was the one who asked for the resignation of Duterte’s chief of staff Sherwin Castañeda and 6 other officers due to reports of alleged &quot;mismanagement.&quot;Yap said he took responsibility to seek Castañeda&#x27;s resignation since he was the one who referred him to Duterte. Meanwhile, Duterte was mum on the reason why Castañeda was asked to quit.&quot;For the details on why they resigned I think it would be best if Atty. Castañeda should answer that question because for me tapos na ang lahat and we parted ways na maayos,&quot; Duterte said. The resignations happened on August 10, Duterte added. The lawmaker said he now plans to bring some of his &quot;trusted staff&quot; from Davao to Manila to help run his office. &quot;I’m almost done filling up the vacant positions with the help of Congressman Yap’s staff. Hoping for a smooth transition and a more effective office for the constituents of the 1st district of Davao City,&quot; Duterte said.
