Three out of the four officials who signed the unauthorized sugar importation order without the approval of President Marcos have resigned.On Tuesday, Sugar Regulatory Administration administrator Hermenegildo Serafica joined SRA board member Roland Beltran and Agriculture Undersecretary Leocadio Sebastian, who resigned over the order to import 300,000 metric tons of sugar, which the Palace described as “illegal.
“At the end of the letter, it says ‘If you feel I need to resign and I have lost your trust and confidence,’ you can just tell me anytime. It was the President himself who appointed me here. I leave the decision to him,” he said.Valderrama, who was appointed as SRA board member only on Aug. 6, said he was the last one to sign the resolution.
Serafica’s resignation was confirmed by Press Secretary Trixie Cruz-Angeles in a statement on Tuesday. She said his and Beltran’s resignations were accepted immediately.A copy of the letters sent to the two officials was released by the Office of the Press Secretary.
