MANILA \u2013 The Malaca\u00f1ang assured that Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Secretary Gregory Domingo\u2019s sudden resignation will not hamper the country\u2019s preparations for the coming Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Leaders\u2019 Summit later this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cSecretaries [Cesar] Purisima, Domingo and [Arsenio] Balisacan and all members of the Cabinet\u2019s economic cluster are working as a unified and cohesive team together with Executive Secretary [Paquito] Ochoa Jr. and the national organizing committee to make our APEC hosting a success,\u201d Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. told reporters.<\/p>\n

Although the Palace remained positive despite Domingo\u2019s unexpected resignation, Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry president Alfredo Yao feared that business activities would be disrupted with the sudden change in DTI\u2019s top management.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will affect and slow down something in the government and business community. There will be questions as to who will decide in DTI and there will again be adjustments. Hopefully his undersecretaries can step up. He is a very good secretary,\u201d Yao said.<\/p>\n

Domingo handed his resignation letter to President Benigno \u201cNoynoy\u201d Aquino III over the weekend. Aquino, for his part, has not yet acted on the matter.<\/p>\n

According to sources, the DTI secretary would stay in office until next month. The reason behind his resignation, however, remained withheld.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
