MANILA — Senator Francis Tolentino has resigned as Chairman of the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee saying it “is an act to honor the agreement with the Senate leadership when he assumed the important post that he will limit it to one and a half years.”
Tolentino branded his action "in
fulfillment of a sacred commitment to serve as Blue Ribbon Committee”
“Chairman and Member of the Commission
on Appointments for a concise term of one and a half years, I find it both a
duty and an honor to uphold the essence of a prior agreement.”
“This decision is rooted in a
deep-seated belief that public office demands fidelity to pledges made. Ang
pagtupad sa kasunduan ay nakabatay sa aking malalim na paniniwala na ang
pangako na maglingkod ng maikling panahon ay isang sagradong tungkulin sa
paglilingkod sa bayan na dapat tuparin. It is my intention to honor an
agreement," Tolentino said.
He said upholding the commitment is in
sync with the "evolving contextual conditions" such as the pressing
need to focus on the Senate Special Committee on Maritime and Admiralty Zones
which he also chairs. (Mindanao Examiner)
