President Rodrigo Duterte on Monday announced the dismissal of Philippine Ambassador to Brazil Marichu Mauro, who was caught on video maltreating her household service staff.
In his weekly address Monday, Duterte said he approved Mauro’s dismissal from government service “the other day or last night.”
Penalty for the former ambassador, according to him, includes cancellation of eligibility, forfeiture of retirement benefits, perpetual disqualification to hold public office, and bar from taking civil service examinations.
“That’s how it is. I said, there are rules to be followed. Kung ayaw mong sundin, you take the risk. If something goes wrong, it’s gonna hit you,” the President said.
Mauro was appointed as Ambassador to Brazil in 2018. She also had jurisdiction over Colombia, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela.

Health workers have a choice on which coronavirus vaccine to take, President Rodrigo Duterte said.
On Monday, Duterte acknowledged that some doctors were not keen on receiving China’s Sinovac vaccine, which the government rolled out to several hospitals in Metro Manila early today.
“That is their right. They want, maybe, the U.S. (vaccines). It could be AstraZeneca or Johnson & Johnson’s. It could be Moderna,” the Chief Executive said during his televised address.
“Wala kaming objections diyan. Kung ayaw ninyo maghintay na lang kayo pag dumating ang mga bakuna of your choice and not the ones that are being applied now to the people. We respect your decision on the matter,” he also said.
Duterte earlier expressed preference for Sinopharm, another China-based pharmaceutical company. The drugmaker is yet to receive emergency approval for its vaccine.
