SENATOR PIA S. CAYETANO STATEMENT ON THE PRESIDENT'S CALL FOR COURTESY RESIGNATIONS FROM HIS CABINET

The President's call for courtesy resignations from his Cabinet is a necessary step to give him a free hand to recalibrate his team and select the best men and women to deliver the services our people deserve. It conveys a clear message that the government is listening and initiating efforts. This is about performance, urgency, and accountability--principles that must guide all of us in public service.

At the heart of this realignment must be a commitment to providing families with quality public services that improve their daily lives and strengthen our communities.
