Amidst the controversies strucked upon by Pagcor Chairman Naguiat, Malacanang would not push through him to resign or to go on leave while under investigation.
In an interview with radio dzRB, deputy Presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte said any calls for a leave of absence, or even resignation, will be up to the discretion of Naguiat.
“Any call for resignation [or leave] for any office, we leave it to the discretion of the official [concerned]. Bahala na sya diyan,” she said.
Archbishop Emeritus Oscar Cruz called for Naguiat’s resignation amid the bribery scandal that arose last week.
The issue stemmed from the lawsuit filed by the United States-based Wynn Resorts against one of its estranged business partners, Kazuo Okada.
Okada allegedly violated the US
Okada allegedly billeted Naguiat and his family in Wynn Macau’s most expensive suite for five days in 2010. The suite is supposedly priced at $6,000 a night.
Naguiat already denied the bribery charges.
