DICT Secretary Aguda resigns, Ombudsman confirms

Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla disclosed on Saturday that Information and Communications Technology Secretary Henry Aguda has resigned from his cabinet post. Remulla made the announcement during his radio program on DZRH when asked about Aguda's status. "He resigned," Remulla said. "His resignation was already accepted." The ombudsman did not provide further details about the circumstances surrounding Aguda's departure or when the resignation took effect. Malacañang has yet to issue a formal confirmation or statement regarding Aguda's resignation. The Office of the President typically announces such high-level personnel changes through official channels. Aguda's departure marks a significant shift in the administration's information technology leadership. The reasons behind his decision to step down remain unclear as of Saturday.
