NBI's Jaime Santiago: Marcos accepted my resignation

National Bureau of Investigation director Jaime Santiago Jr. on Monday said President Ferdinand Marcos has accepted his irrevocable resignation.

“Today I was informed that the President has finally accepted my irrevocable resignation,” Santiago said.

“So within the day or these days to come, lalabas na ang order. Magkakaroon na kayo ng panibagong leader...So it will come out within the day, tomorrow or basta within the week,” he added.

(So within the day or these days to come, the order will come out. You will have a new leader...So it will come out within the day, tomorrow or within the week.)

Santiago thanked NBI personnel for their support during his stint as NBI chief and advised them to continue their good work.

In August, Santiago resigned from his post, saying "detractors and those who have sinister interest" in his position have "incessantly" made moves to besmirch his reputation. — RSJ, GMA Integrated News
