MANILA, Philippines—With a day to go before his expected departure, Philippine Overseas Employment Administration chief Carlos Cao Jr. said Saturday he had yet to receive any official word about his removal from office.
Cao asked his superiors to at least give him some “dignity” and officially inform him that he was being replaced as the militant migrant rights group Migrante expressed support for the beleaguered POEA chief.
“I serve at the pleasure of the President and my only request from (the Department of Labor and Employment)—and I respect them all—I’m appealing to them to give me the dignity of being formally advised whether or not I’m going to be replaced or not,” Cao said in an interview.
“The President gave me dignity by appointing me to this office and I’m extremely grateful for that,” he added.
