MANILA – Cabinet Secretary Jun Evasco Jr. is the new chairman of the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC).

He replaced Vice President Maria Leonor “Leni” Robredo, who resigned as HUDCC chairwoman — a Cabinet position — Monday, Dec. 5.

Robredo already announced that she will step down early Sunday evening.

“(President Rodrigo Duterte) just appointed Cabinet Secretary Jun Evasco to head HUDCC,” Communications Secretary Martin Andanar said Monday. “This is on top of (Evasco’s) current responsibilities.”

Robredo tendered her resignation before the Office of the Executive Secretary past 9 a.m.
She said Duterte’s directive to “desist from attending all Cabinet meetings” makes it difficult for her to do her duties as housing secretary.

Following is the full text of Robredo’s resignation letter:

“Dear Mr. President,

“I accepted the appointment as Chairperson of the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC) given our shared commitment to the poor and marginalized.

“I have exerted all effort to put aside our differences, maintain a professional working relationship, and work effectively despite the constraints because the Filipino people deserve no less.

“However, your directive for me to ‘desist from attending all Cabinet meetings’ has effectively made it impossible for me to do my job. Remaining in your Cabinet has become untenable.

“With due respect, I am tendering my resignation as HUDCC Chairperson effective immediately.

“Thank you.”/PN
