Dear Ermin,

Even away from home, I make it a point to update myself about news in our home province. Thus, once more, I read another column you wrote about me, this time about my “disapproved” resignation.

I am sure I am not waging a lonely fight against perceived anomalies on the smuggling front. I have the support of majority of our people, including the media like you, who see, appreciate and support our no-nonsense crusade.

But ironically, while I get plaudits from various sectors, and surprisingly no less from the opposition, those who want to boot me out are administration allies.

Yes, you clearly pointed out that I can do not belong to a group of government officials who, despite loud clamor for their resignation, or being dragged into some anomalies, still cling to their position.

Mine is just an honest-to-goodness job and if in the process I step on someone’s toes that will put my Boss in a bind, I would willingly step down in order not to be a liability to my superior. As you very well know, my Boss prevailed on me to stay put.

I do not know until when I could stay in my hot seat. But when the inevitable time comes, I could assure you that I would bow out with my dignity intact.

Let us keep our punches harder for a better Philippines!

Again, thank you.
