Update from GMA News: Nilo has left for Australia
Dr. Prisco Nilo, the former weather bureau chief disgraced by President Aquino, has been reported to have availed of early retirement.
The ABS-CBN report said quoted Agham party-list Rep. Angelo Palmones as saying that Nilo’s early retirement has something to do with his lack of Career Executive Service Officer (CESO) eligibility.
Under Aquino’s Memorandum Circular No. “2. All non-Career Executive Service Officials (non-CESO) occupying Career Executive Service (CES) positions in all agencies of the Executive Branch shall remain in office and continue to perform their duties and discharge their responsibilities until October 31, 2010 or until their resignations have been accepted and/or until their respective replacements have been appointed or designated, whichever comes first, unless they are re-appointed in the meantime. “
