IN a bold and unprecedented move, an undetermined number of career officers of the Department of Foreign Affairs were reported to have asked President Rodrigo Duterte to relieve Foreign Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano and his non-career deputies of their posts, following the diplomatic fiasco in Kuwait, arising from the DFA-authorized special operations to rescue allegedly distressed Filipino domestic workers from Kuwaiti private homes last April. They allegedly accused Cayetano and his staff of gross incompetence and blamed them for the fiasco.
