MANILA, Philippines — Agriculture Secretary Manny Piñol has offered to resign amid reports that President Rodrigo Duterte is unsatisfied with his performance.
Former presidential aide and now Senator-elect Bong Go announced this in an interview in Malacañang on Thursday.
“Meron pong liham si Secretary Piñol addressed to Pangulong Duterte. I was informed also naka-CC po ako doon. Pinabasa ko po kay Pangulong Duterte bago po siya pumunta dito,” Go said.

Piñol’s resignation came on the heels of reports that Duterte is studying the performances of his Cabinet as part of his midterm assessment. (Editor: Eden Estopace)
