MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— Bureau of Customs (BOC) Commissioner Rey Leonardo Guerrero on Friday said he is waiting for further orders regarding his supposed exit as head of one of the top two revenue-generating agencies of the government.<\/p>\n

\u201cGoing to the question\u00a0kung anong balita<\/em>\u00a0(on what the news is),\u00a0ako mismo hindi ko rin alam<\/em>\u00a0(I personally do not know anything) and I’m still waiting for guidance from the President (Rodrigo Duterte) and Secretary of Finance (Carlos Dominguez III),\u201d he said in an interview.<\/p>\n

The Customs chief refused to comment when asked what may be the reason for his replacement.<\/p>\n

\u201cHuwag na natin sagutin yun, hintayin na lang natin sagot ng Presidente\u00a0<\/em>(Rodrigo Duterte) (Let’s not answer that. Let’s just wait for the President’s answer). I am here because I am an appointed official so depende na sa presidente \u2018yan kung anong desisyon niya (it’s up to the President’s decision)\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Before the news of his supposed replacement came out, Guerrero said his last interaction with Duterte was at a conference this week.<\/p>\n

\u201cNagkita kami sa<\/em>\u00a0command conference last Tuesday sa AFP-PNP (Armed Forces of the Philippines-Philippine National Police) and\u00a0wala namang sinabi sa akin<\/em>\u00a0(We met a command conference of the AFP-PNP on Tuesday and he did not say anything to me),\u201d the BOC head added.<\/p>\n

Guerrero said as an appointee, he serves at the pleasure of the President.<\/p>\n

Reports said Guerrero will be replaced as Customs chief by prominent Davao businessman William de Jesus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
