Atty. Mark Tolentino Terminated as Assistant Secretary for Railways

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The Department of Transportation (DOTr) welcomes and strongly supports the decision of President Rodrigo Duterte to terminate the services of Atty. Mark Tolentino as Assistant Secretary for Railways due to questionable dealings and unfairly involving the first family with matters regarding the Mindanao Railway Project.

The DOTr, under the leadership of Secretary Arthur Tugade, does not and will not tolerate such acts by its officials or employees. 

Namedropping and seeking the assistance of the President, his family, or any other influential individual, either for government projects or for personal gain, will never be tolerated. 

May this be a warning to all government officials and employees.

Rest assured that the Mindanao Railway, a priority project under the Build Build Build Infrastructure program of the Duterte administration, is ON TRACK and ON SCHEDULE. Phase 1 (Tagum-Davao-Digos) will be completed in 2021, without delays and without corruption.
