DAVAO City Councilor Wendel Avisado announced Tuesday his resignation in accepting his appointment as the Deputy Secretary General of the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC).
Avisado said President Benigno Aquino III appointed him to the position August 17 through the recommendation of Vice President Jejomar Binay, chairman of HUDCC.
"I have accepted the opportunity to serve the Filipino nation and wholeheartedly take on this higher call of public service," Avisado said in a privilege speech.
"I am now officially tendering my resignation as City Councilor of the 1st District of Davao City effective upon my official assumption to duty as Deputy Secretary General of the HUDCC," he said.
Avisado said he took his oath of office as Deputy Secretary General of the HUDCC in Malacañang on Monday afternoon before the President.
"It was VP (Vice President Jejomar) Binay who requested me to join him in serving the country through HUDCC as he truly believes that I can serve a wider sector of the people in our country including our beloved city," Avisado said.
Avisado said it took him time to accept the position because he never thought he would be serving the National Government again after his seven-year sting as regional director of the Department of Interior and Local Government in the early 1990s.
