Sec. Roy Cimatu has resigned from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), citing health reasons.

Cabinet Sec. Karlo Nograles confirmed this on Friday after a social media post of Pres. Rodrigo Duterte’s letter accepting Cimatu’s resignation.

Environment Usec. Jim Sampulna has been designated as the agency’s officer-in-charge.

Cimatu, a former Armed Forces chief-of-staff, was appointed in late 2017 following the non-confirmation of his predecessor, the late Gina Lopez.

Though he initially supported Lopez’s ban on open-pit mining, Cimatu eventually lifted it before Christmas last year, citing the need for economic boost amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
