Di ka nagiisa, Leni: CHED’s Licuanan also got Evasco text she’s not welcome in Cabinet

Commission on Higher Education Chair Patricia Licuanan said that she receieved a text message from Cabinet Secretary Leoncio Evasco Jr. ordering her to stop attending Cabinet meetings starting Dec. 5, Monday.

This was the same text message received by Vice President Leni Robredo which prompted her announcement to resign from the Duterte administration. But unlike Robredo, ‎Licuanan is so far staying on her post because she has a fixed term which has two years left.

“I assured Sec. Evasco that I would comply. In the meantime, I will continue my work as Chairperson of the Commission on Higher Education,” said Licuanan. Licuanan was initially appointed to a four-year term in 2010 by then President Aquino. In 2014, Aquino appointed her to a second, four-year term.

Licuanan was supposed to be replaced by Duterte’s professor at Lyceum of the Philippines, Jose David Lapus. Licuanan said that Duterte had assured her previously that he would respect her term.
