President Rodrigo Duterte’s top aide has dismissed reports linking him to the reported mass resignation of the officials of the Coconut Industry Investment Fund-Oil Mills Group (CIIF-OMG) in protest over Malacañang’s decision to appoint the agency’s new head.

In a radio interview, Special Assistant to the President (SAP)Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go said he had nothing to do with the resignation of the 12 CIIF-OMG officials following the appointment of Rehan Lao as new chief executive officer (CEO).
