MANILA, Philippines—Felipe Salvosa II, the managing editor of the Manila Times, has resigned after the newspaper published a matrix accompanying a story about an alleged plot to oust President Rodrigo Duterte. READ: Palace confirms existence of ‘Oust-Duterte plot’Salvosa, who resigned Wednesday, denounced on Twitter the release of the matrix implicating several media personalities. “It is a very huge stretch for anyone to accuse PCIJ, Vera Files and Rappler of actively plotting to unseat the President. “We just discussed the matrix story after it was published and I was told they were disappointed with my post on social media,” Salvosa said. He clarified though that he felt no tension at all with Ang and son Klink, president and chief executive officer of Manila Times.
