THE PALACE has confirmed on Friday the resignation of Defense Undersecretary Benito T. Ramos due to family reasons. Presidential Spokesman Abigail F. Valte told BusinessWorld via text that Mr. Ramos, also the executive director of the National Disaster of Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) and the administrator of the Office of Civil Defense, has given his resignation letter to Defense Secretary Voltaire T. Gazmin. "Yes, Usec Ramos has submitted his resignation to Sec. Gazmin, to care for his ailing wife," she said. However, there has been no confirmation yet if Mr. Ramos will be allowed to go. "There is no word as to the acceptance of the resignation yet," she added.
Before being appointed as a Defense official, Mr. Ramos served the military for 36 years until he retired in 2007 with the rank of major general as commander of the Special Operations Command in the army. He is also the country’s focal point to the disaster management committee of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. Mr. Ramos cannot be immediately reached for comment as of writing.
