“Leocadio Sebastian resigned as undersecretary and chief of staff of the Department of Agriculture.”
What Vera Files found
Richard Palpal-Latoc, deputy executive secretary for legal affairs under the Office of the President, said Sebastian only asked to be relieved of his delegated duties in the Agriculture department. He "did not resign from the position” and “can still be appointed to another position equivalent to his CESO [Career Executive Service Officer] rank.”
