ACT-CIS party-list Rep. Edvic Yap has resigned as member of the House of Representatives, prompting the chamber to remove him from the roll.
This came after Deputy Majority Leader and Leyte Rep. Anna Victoria Veloso-Tuazon announced in Wednesday’s plenary session of having received a letter from Yap informing the chamber of his resignation.
“Mr. Speaker, for the information of the body, we are in receipt of a letter from Rep. Edvic Yap of the ACT-CIS party-list informing the House of Representatives of his resignation as member of the House,” Veloso-Tuazon said.
“Mr. Speaker, in view of the resignation of Rep. Edvic Yap, may we request that the secretary general be directed to drop Rep. Yap from the roll of members of the House of Representatives,” she said.
Yap, brother of Benguet Rep. Eric Yap, is among the lawmakers implicated in the flood control scandal.
