Palace Communications exec quits, cites ‘family, business’

An official of the Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) has resigned to attend to family and business concerns.

“I am the family lawyer for my dad, I promised [PCOO] secretary [Martin] Andanar I would come on board during the transition period and since everything is well, my father asked me to come back to business,” Noel Puyat, PCOO undersecretary for administration and finance, told reporters in his first interview since tendering his resignation last May 1.
