MANILA, Philippines — Jose Calida has stepped down as chairperson of the Commission on Audit, Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin said Tuesday, in what is now the third consecutive resignation involving top officials under the Marcos administration.

 

Bersamin told reporters of Calida’s resignation after 10 officials, excluding the former COA chairperson, were reappointed and took their oath before President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. following their bypass by the Commission on Appointments.

 

Calida is the third top Marcos administration official to leave office just before the president completes his first 100 days in Malacañang.
