Zambales Representative quits

Zambales Rep. Diaz quits, tenders resignation letter to JdV

FOR the first time in history, a lawmaker wanted to be out of Congress, saying it is no longer an honor to be part of it.

A report over dzBB said Zambales Rep. Antonio Diaz already tendered his resignation letter to House Speaker Jose de Venecia last Wednesday, saying "it is no longer an honor" to be part of the Lower House of Congress which used to be called the august chamber.

In response, the report quoted de Venecia as saying that he would refer Diaz' resignation to the House committee on rules since this is the first time that a lawmaker relinquished his position.
De Venecia added he does not know who will replace Diaz as the representative of the second district of Zambales.
