But now, I don\u2019t want to be distracted because there are so many things to do and the DSWD is continuing its job of serving the public,\u201d Soliman said in a press conference on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Soliman, who earlier resigned as the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) secretary in 2005 at the height of the \u201cHello Garci\u201d scandal, said she did that for her principles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll of you know that I had resigned from my post because of my principles. I saw that the people\u2019s welfare was being compromised. So it would not be hard for me to do that,\u201d Soliman told reporters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI leave those critics to God. These issues are not exactly new, we\u2019ve answered these issues before, and we have shown that we have not been lacking,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANILA \u2013 Following several reports on his critics\u2019 call for her resignation, Social Welfare Secretary Corazon Soliman said she will &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":14621,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1482,1145,95],"tags":[3229,7831],"class_list":["post-25937","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking","category-headline","category-news-ph","tag-resignation","tag-soliman","mauthors-lei-fontamillas","mauthors-philippine-canadian-inquirer"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25937","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/44"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25937"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25937\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14621"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25937"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25937"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25937"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
