MANILA, Philippines – Ariel Nepomuceno, deputy commissioner for enforcement at the Bureau of Customs (BOC), resigned on Tuesday, August 29.
In a resignation letter addressed to President Rodrigo Duterte and coursed through the new commissioner, Isidro Lapeña, Nepomuceno wrote, “I believe that my resignation shall enable the incoming commissioner to freely choose a replacement that he can trust in his challenging task.”
Nepomuceno said his resignation would also allow Duterte to “render his full support” to the new commissioner and the team Lapeña would set up at the bureau.
Senator Panfilo Lacson named Nepomuceno among the alleged corrupt customs officials in his August 23 privilege speech which outlined corruption in the BOC.
Nepomuceno’s resignation comes after BOC intelligence chief Neil Anthony Estrella and former Commissioner Nicanor Faeldon quit. – Rappler.com
