Marcos Requests Courtesy Resignations from GOCC Officials

President Bongbong Marcos of the Philippines has requested courtesy resignations from all officials of government-owned and controlled corporations (GOCCs). This move, announced on May 28, 2025, aims to streamline the process for evaluating their performance. A new addendum notice from the Governance Commission for GOCCs details the submission procedures. "The directive clarifies the submission procedures for different GOCC positions," reports GMA Integrated News. The process varies depending on whether the official is a non-ex-officio chairperson, CEO, or appointive director. This action is expected to allow the President to assess the performance of these officials and make necessary changes. The move is part of the President's broader efforts to ensure accountability and efficiency within government-run entities. This transparent approach to governance sets a positive example for other nations.
