From Congress to the Executive:
Cabinet reshuffle continues

Change in any organization when well planned and well executed is good (hopefully the good effect cascades to whole country). We deserve the best people in the government. (Although some of the appointees -their purpose of being appointed and their competencies with regards to their respective job/position – are questionable)

On second thought, to effect real and meaningful change, it may not be about changing the people in the organization~ what may be needed is systemic change!

For other departments doing good, why tinker with them? If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it! Leave the education department to the educators!

puno, interviewed on radio today, felt undaunted by “rough sailing at CA”
( http://news.inq7.net/nation/index.php?index=1&story_id=65357 ).

puno knows firsthand that CA is “a horse-trading agency,” YEHEEY!
( http://www.pcij.org/stories/1999/ca.html ).

Is GMA paying back those people who have helped during the impeachment? If Reyes was doing a good job at the DILG why transfer him to another department? If he was not, why don’t she just remove him? Puno, Andaya, Nachura are politicians. Their loyalties are to themselves and GMA who appointed them not to the people whom they are supposed to serve. Parang si Gonzales na naman iyan, who will file cases against those who are not allies to GMA. Have he ever filed a case against an allie to the President? Whatever happened to the case of Iggy Pidal Arroyo? The people who were responsible for the Macapagal Highway.

Apponting politician will not serve the interest of the people and will not change the perception of the people that GMA is the worst president of the country. If she wants people to start believing in her, she appoint people who are the most qualified for the position.

What changes? I call it “A GAME OF MUSICAL CHAIR”. These are the same dubious personalities around her. The same birds who —K
together. gloria cannot anymore attract respectable personalities. Sila- Sila na lang yan because they have common DENOMINATOR, its easy for them to come together. Iisa ang mental pre-occupation ng mga yan, why bother calling in some outsiders baka mag HYATT 10 din ang new comers or WALA NA TALAGANG MAKISALO sa isang, CHEAT, LIAR, THIEF and ARROGANT leader, would you?
TAKIPAN or COVER UP is their common expert qualities, gloria is just too comfortable with these kind of persons.

I am always a proponent of a strong party style of government, so when the electorate decided to change the government the whole new faces come in and all the olds come out instead of the same yoyos coming back and fort at the whim of the president. Just like the one we had here (canada), the people decided to throw out the Liberal and not a single one of them was left in the cabinet but instead they will be in the opposition bench now and the Conservative Party will be leading for a while until such time they will be thrown out. Not much time for them to know the trick of the trade (just kidding), that case of corruption by the past Liberal Government was just a blip in our history and they paid dearly for that. Let be a Lesson to Ate Glo and the Rest of them who may not have learned that Grandma said (that should be naykika) that taking that is not yours is no GOOD.

GLORIA SELF-DESTRUCTING!!!!???????

A few months ago gloria appointed Gen. G.Senga as AFP, Chief of Staff.
But according to Jun Cobarrubias’ 02/09/2006 The Daily Tribune news item :

“AFP chief Senga-GMA ties strained”

“Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Chief of Staff Gen. Generoso Senga is reportedly slowly being stripped of his powers as military chief and by his Commander-in-Chief, President Arroyo.

This move from Malacañang reportedly came after reports that Senga’s relative, a brother-in-law, was linked to the recruitment activities to entice junior officers into joining the Young Officer Union New Generation (YOUng) in its bid to topple the President and her regime, an insider from the Intelligence Service of the AFP yesterday disclosed to the Tribune.

The Intelligence Service of the AFP agent pointed to Army chief Gen. Hermogenes Esperon as the de facto chief of staff, allegedly having been given verbal instructions by Mrs. Arroyo to “act as her eyes and ears” in the top brass as Senga’s loyalty to her is “still being evaluated” and while a “quiet investigation” by those officers trusted by the President, into the extent of the links of the AFP chief’s relative to the junior officers, as well as the brother-in- law’s influence over Senga, is ongoing.”

Insecurity hounds her, so she’s now sorrounding herself with people she trusts most, never mind qualifications. When a person self-distruct,
Whats next? London bridge is falling down… falling down… !!!!1

“Mike as Chief of Staff. anong position yun? anong role niya dun. anong pagkakaiba dung kay BUNI? Baka di alam ni Mike at papelan niya ang
lahat. Sigurado Spokeman siya ni GMA. teka as Political party o governement. Pag di pa tama yung gagawin mo dyan siguradong sibak ka na sa susunod. Ang advise ko lang sa yo. Think before you talk. ”

——————————————————–

But isn’t that what he has been doing everince? Even when he was the DENR… He was there in the forefront of depending PGMA. So maybe it was a good idea na sya na nga lang ang chief of staff….

Naykika, maybe I missed some of your comments, but I wasn’t able to read your stand on wether the parliamentary form of govern is good in a Philippine setting. Would you so kind to refresh me on that? Thanks

When that woman gloria who claims to be president reshufflles her “cabinet”, the main purpose is to consolidate forces for PERSONAL
POLITICAL SURVIVAL. So why bother, qualifications and integrity. Most important for her is USEFULLNESS of her appointees. She chooses Mike Defensor as Presidential Chief of Staff, because, Mike D is a blind follower.
In time of uncertainties, it’s smart move to consolidate loyal forces.
That woman is really intelligent and smart, the sad part is – these qualififcations are NEVER USED for the advancement and survival of the country, BUT ALL for PERSONAL BENEFITS.
