Presidential Communications Undersecretary Claire Castro said Marcos would not seek the resignation of Guevarra, but could not elaborate on the reason for the President's decision to keep him as the government's top lawyer.

"They (Marcos and Guevarra) already talked and I also talked to the President about it, and he said his trust in SolGen Menardo Guevarra has not been lost,” Castro said in a press briefing.
