Ngayon ang unang araw ng 10-day wellness leave ni Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla.
Itinalaga naman ni Remulla si Justice Usec. Raul Vasquez bilang officer-in-charge ng kagawaran habang siya ay naka-leave.
Hindi naman nagbigay ng detalye ukol sa dahilan ng leave ni Remulla at sinabi na lamang na ito ay dahil sa mga personal na kadahilanan.
“We want to assure the public that the DOJ remains committed to upholding the rule of law and ensuring that justice is served. Our officials and employees will continue to work diligently and fulfill their respective responsibilities to ensure that the operations of our department run smoothly during the Secretary’s absence,” ang pahayag ng DOJ.
Pagtitiyak din ng kagawaran na magpapatuloy ang kanilang trabaho.
It also said: “We kindly ask for your understanding and respect for the Secretary’s privacy during this time. We look forward to the Secretary’s return and his continued service to the DOJ and the Filipino people,” dagdag pa ng kagawaran.
