National Irrigation
Administration (NIA) Chief Peter Tiu Laviña has resigned from his post amid
corruption allegations.
Laviña on his Facebook
page on Tuesday said he wanted to quietly leave his post but he had to address
the intrigues.
"Recently, there
had been efforts to discredit me again. There are rumors circulating that I
have asked money from NIA contractors. These are not true!" he said in a
separate post.
Laviña said he decided
to resign to spare President Rodrigo Duterte's administration from unnecessary
intrigues.
"I have neither
personal vested interest in it nor ill intent towards NIA and the whole
government, which we are trying to reform," he said.
“He will continue to
serve the Filipinos even if he is no longer working for the government”, Laviña
said.
"This is your H2O
boy, signing off!" he said, bidding his post good bye.
