Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco today said he and all the members of the agency’s Board of Directors have tendered their courtesy resignations last week to give the President a free hand in reorganizing the bureaucracy.
The resignation of the top PAGCOR leadership came even before the Palace called on all officials of government-owned or controlled corporations (GOCCs) to submit their courtesy resignations on Wednesday.
“We serve at the pleasure of the President,” Mr. Tengco said. “And we will accept whatever the Chief Executive’s decision will be.”
Along with Mr. Tengco, those who voluntarily stepped down were PAGCOR President and COO Wilma Eisma and Directors Jose Maria Ortega, Francis Democrito Concordia and Gilbert Cesar Remulla.
