MANILA, Philippines- Naghain si resigned Civil Service Commission chairperson Karlo Nograles nitong Martes ng kanyang certificate of candidacy para sa alkalde ng Davao City sa 2025 elections.
Sa paghahain ng kanyang COC sa Comelec Davao City, sinabi ni Nograles “the people of Davao have the right to choose, the right choice, at this right time in our beloved city’s history.”
Makakaharap niya si dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte, na naghain ng kanyang COC nitong Lunes, sa mayoralty race.
“Yesterday, I bade farewall to the CSC I still have five more years left as head of agency and a lifetime pension waiting for me…Today I go back home to Davao City and offer myself and my 20 plus years of experience in government to serve you, my first love,” wika pa niya.
Kinumpirma naman ni Presidential Communications Office Acting Secretary Cesar Chavez nitong Lunes na nagsumite na si Nograles ng kanyang resignation letter.
Sa kanyang resignation letter, pinasalamatan ni Nograles si Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. “for the opportunity to serve alongside such dedicated public servants.” Aniya, ang desisyon niyang bumaba sa ahensya “was difficult to make.”
“This experience has moved me to return to my roots in Davao City––where I hope to bring and apply the lessons I have learned in my tenure as the head of the Commission, as well as my two decades in government,” patuloy niya. RNT/SA
