President Duterte announces in a graveyard hour press conference that by August 22 all appointive non-career positions are considered vacant. LTO Assistant Secretary Edgardo Galvante later announces his resignation. Rumors have circulated earlier in the week that LTFRB XI Director Go and A.O. Violan have already tendered their respective resignations after PRRD singled out LTO and LTFRB for still being corrupt. Meanwhile an ABS-CBN radio announcer criticizes LTO XI Assistant Regional Director Gonzaga for his alleged trip to Brazil and palatial house.
