Justice Undersecretary Markk Perete on Thursday announced his resignation effectively immediately.
“After much thought, I have decided to submit my resignation from the DOJ effective today due to serious reasons,” said Perete who also served as Justice department spokesman.

“My reasons are very personal and I humbly request for everyone’s understanding. Thank you.”
He said he had yet to inform Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra about his resignation.
“I would have liked to continue under Secretary Guevarra’s leadership, but it would be a disservice to do so at this time,” he said.
Before his stint with the DOJ, Perete served as technical assistant at the Office of the President with the rank of assistant secretary for legal affairs.
