\"\u201cThankful<\/a>
\u201cThankful for the opportunity to have served our countrymen as the steward of your DOJ.

MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Former Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II on Friday expressed gratitude to the Department of Justice (DOJ) after serving the agency for almost two years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThankful for the opportunity to have served our countrymen as the steward of your DOJ. As I leave the Department of Justice, I find comfort in the thought that, by our collective efforts, we have improved the DOJ in key areas. We have achieved this by hard work and indomitable faith in the protection, providence and guidance of the Almighty,\u201d Aguirre said in a statement, which came day after President Rodrigo R. Duterte announced his resignation.<\/p>\n

Aguirre recognized the efforts of DOJ officials as well as its attached agencies for welcoming him \u201cwith open arms\u201d and for throwing all their support and cooperation.<\/p>\n

“The DOJ is better not because of me but because everybody committed heart, body and soul to march towards a single cadence,\u201d Aguirre said.<\/p>\n

“I salute the good men and women of the DOJ for showing me how it is to serve selflessly in government. You have provided me the inspiration to lead by walking beside me, never behind me nor ahead of me, from Day One.<\/p>\n

I will cherish the bonds formed, the friendships made and the memories we shared,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

Aguirre also took the occasion to express gratitude to Duterte “for the trust and the confidence he reposed on me as his first Secretary of Justice”.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not sad that it has ended, rather I am thankful that it happened. I am eternally grateful to all.<\/p>\n

In our own humble way, we have delivered on our promise to make the DOJ better than when we found it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Aguirre encouraged justice employees to welcome newly appointed Justice chief Menardo Guevarra.<\/p>\n

“Moving forward, I humbly ask everyone to welcome with the same degree of enthusiasm and cooperation, more if need be, the team of incoming Secretary Menard Guevarra, there is only one DOJ, let us love and serve it to the best of our abilities,\u201d Aguirre said.<\/p>\n

Aguirre was seen on Friday at the justice department, where he attended a mass with DOJ employees.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Following Aguirre\u2019s resignation, Duterte appointed Senior Deputy Executive Secretary Menardo Guevarra to lead the agency, where he took his oath of office before him at Malacanang on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Guevarra said he would first \u201cwind up\u201d his tasks as Senior Deputy Executive Secretary at the Office of the President before reporting for work at the DOJ.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe President told me to bring back the DOJ\u2019s dignified image,\u201d Guevarra said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe President seldom sees me, yet he entrusts such a sensitive position to me. I\u2019m overwhelmed with such confidence,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Guevarra earned his bachelor of laws from the Ateneo de Manila University and placed second in the 1985 Bar examinations.<\/p>\n

He was in active private practice and a faculty member at the Ateneo School of Law until April 2015.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
