DIGOS CITY—At least 17 provincial officials of Davao del Sur resigned from their posts on Wednesday, barely a day after Gov. “This is ugly politics,” a source said, adding that provincial officials and employees are expected to perform their duties regardless of who the governor is. Cagas had not issued any comment on the resignation of the officials, who included provincial budget officer Ma. Cecilia Domingo, provincial accountant Dorothy Joy Angeles Ramos, human resource management officer Dimples Lapaz and general services officer Genaro Dumayas, among others. Cagas, charged with the 2010 murder of journalist Nestor Bedolido, reported for work as soon as he was released from jail after posting P1 million in bail.
