MANILA, Philippines – The irrevocable resignation submitted by National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) Director Jaime Santiago is now “for acceptance,” Malacañang said on Wednesday.

Presidential Communications Office (PCO) Undersecretary Claire Castro in a press briefing, however, did not disclose whether the President has a shortlist of candidates to take over Santiago or if the Palace has set a deadline for his replacement.

Last August 15, Santiago pointed to “detractors and those who have sinister interest” in his position within the bureau who have "incessantly" made moves to tarnish his reputation as the reason for his decision to quit.
