wa pa gni na cla ka lingkod nka ingon nka ana. .

hatagi sa cla ug chance ue

Well, I'll give them a chance to prove their capabilities. However, I just don't see corruption getting eliminated in 6 years, no matter who the leader would be. Corruption will exist. Di ba, when we read a corruption report, we mention "most corrupt nation" and "least corrupt nation" but never "corruption-free nation"? The best that we can do is to lessen corruption. I guess aiming for the ideal is good, though, para mas ma-motivate ang tao to lessen corruption.

As far as poverty is concerned, I guess it matters on what specific type of poverty did he mean in the first place. Did Noynoy mean:

A.) Absolute poverty
- "A level of poverty when only the minimum levels of food, clothing and shelter can be met."
- "Anyone without set of minimum necessities or essentials for living is said to be in absolute poverty."

B.) Relative poverty
- "The possession of less money than others in the same society, or the inability to afford the standard of living of more comfortable individuals or that is believed to be possible or appropriate."

If he meant (A), then it's possible but it's also extremely tough, with a foreign debt that continues to burden each and every one of us. If he meant (B), then it's totally debatable. The best he can do in this case is to improve the living conditions of the poorest of the poor, and not exactly eliminate (relative) poverty.

Noy told: Go easy on firing people

MANILA, Philippines - Malacañang warned president-elect Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III yesterday against firing President Arroyo’s appointees once he assumes office, saying their appointments are valid and backed by pertinent laws and regulations.
“They (appointments) were all issued and executed within the boundaries of our existing laws. For those in the government-controlled corporations, they have their respective charters, while the others were there because there were vacancies, so these are all valid,” deputy presidential spokesman Rogelio Peyuan told a press briefing.
He said the Palace fully respects the prerogative of Aquino to review Mrs. Arroyo’s appointments, including the so-called midnight appointments or those made just days before the election ban on appointments on March 10.
He said officials co-terminus with Mrs. Arroyo would definitely leave on June 30.
“For those who will serve beyond June 30, the laws back them and let’s see how the next administration would review them,” Peyuan said.
“But, at the same time, I think we should hope and pray that this (review) would not lead to a surge in unemployment,” he said.
He said not all appointments were political in nature and most of the officials were tapped because of their qualifications and expertise.

National unity’s sake

spokesman Ricardo Saludo said critics should take a cue from “revered legal luminaries for circumspection in public statements in the spirit of national unity, as we usher in a new administration.”
“Moreover, crucial to governance is the security of public servants in their positions, to be removed only with legal basis and due process,” Saludo said.
“All officials must ensure uninterrupted quality services until others take their place. Working together for the good of all - let this be the spirit of our transition to a new government,” he said.
Peyuan also denied allegations that Mrs. Arroyo has been calling up key officials and directing them not to tender their courtesy resignations to Aquino.
“Everybody is well aware that the only standing order of the President is to prepare each and every department for a smooth turnover to the next administration,” Peyuan said.
Albay Rep. Edcel Lagman, for his part, said midnight appointees can only be dismissed “for cause.”
“This means that they have to file administrative or criminal charges against them,” he said.
Lagman is the candidate for speaker of the House of Representatives of the ruling Lakas-Kampi.
Since many of his partymates are defecting to the camp of his rival, outgoing Quezon City mayor and Representative-elect Feliciano Belmonte Jr. of the Liberal Party (LP), Lagman would likely end up as the leader of the minority. Mrs. Arroyo will belong to the minority or opposition group.
Lagman was commenting on Aquino’s statement that since the president has the power to hire, he necessarily possesses the power to fire.
“The presidential power to fire is not absolute as it is circumscribed by due process, which is enshrined in the Constitution and limited by the provisions of the Civil Service Law,” Lagman said.
“This restraint on absolutism is an enduring principle in democratic systems,” he said.
He said the appointments being questioned by Aquino and his allies were made before the election ban on midnight appointments took effect on March 10.
These are “presumed legal and valid. Otherwise, why impose a prohibited period if appointments extended before the effectivity of the ban are considered similarly invalid or tainted,” he said of the appointments.
He said he was making the comment “to uphold the rule of [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]law[/COLOR][/COLOR] and not to shield any concerned appointee.”
He added that Mrs. Arroyo appointed none of his relatives during her entire nine-year term.
Senator-elect Franklin Drilon of Aquino’s LP has invoked a Supreme Court decision upholding the decision of the late President Diosdado Macapagal, Mrs. Arroyo’s father, to revoke hundreds of appointments made by President Carlos Garcia.
But Lagman said the decision should be put in its proper context.
“What the Supreme Court allowed to be struck down ‘as abuse of presidential prerogatives’ in this case was the rash of appointments issued ‘in the last hours of an outgoing chief executive’ and the planned mass induction ‘a few hours before the inauguration of the new president,’” he said.
“President Carlos Garcia extended the 1961 midnight appointments in the Aytona case before the constitutional ban was provided for in the 1987 Constitution,” he said.
Mrs. Arroyo issued nearly 300 midnight appointments on March 9, a day before the constitutional appointments ban took effect.
There was no transparency in the appointments as most of these are coming to light only now.
In many cases, those who have been given fixed terms have been with their agencies for years holding temporary appointments.
For instance, at the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA), government television broadcaster Mario Garcia has been a member of the state corporation’s board since Mrs. Arroyo became president.
Before the appointments ban took effect, the President gave Garcia a six-year fixed term ending in 2016, when president-elect Aquino’s term expires.
Another appointee, Jesus Vicente Magsaysay II, son of Zambales Rep. Milagros Magsaysay, has been a member of the SBMA board since 2007. He, too, has been given a fixed term of up to 2016.
Several appointees have been transferred to state corporations where there is supposedly security of tenure like the SBMA.
Lagman also urged Aquino not to be selective in dispensing justice.
“The reported inclination of president-elect Noynoy Aquino to forgive the Marcoses and prosecute President Arroyo is discriminatory. This amnesia for one and alacrity against another mocks the justice system,” he said.
“The right to litigate and prosecute must be protected but not compartmentalized. Allow freely the judicial system to adjudicate cases based on admissible and competent evidence. The dispensation of justice is blind to assure integrity, fairness and judiciousness,” he said.
For Nueva Ecija Rep. Edno Joson, Aquino should have the names of all midnight appointees published and subject them to a “shame campaign” if they refuse to relinquish their posts.
“We don’t know who these people are. We should restore propriety in government,” he said in Filipino in a text message to The STAR.

P-Noy’s Cabinet

Aquino said he would announce the names of the members of his Cabinet shortly before his inauguration on June 30.
He revealed earlier that Quezon City administrator Pacquito “Jojo” Ochoa Jr. would be his executive secretary, while Corazon “Dinky” Soliman would head the Department of Social Welfare and Development. To be named government peace panel negotiator is Teresita “Ging” Deles. Edwin Lacierda is Aquino’s spokesman, a position he is expected to officially assume on June 30.
Aquino disclosed he would first have to fill up the Cabinet positions because his appointees - including their families - would have to be ready for big changes in their lifestyles.
Ochoa said they were busy evaluating the list of candidates for various positions.
Ochoa said the Department of Justice is particularly important to Aquino because the incoming president is really serious about putting closure to many legal issues that have been besetting the country.
“I was and I still am his lawyer friend, so he probably thought I can maybe recommend somebody or can perhaps supervise it at some future time,” Ochoa said.
“We have proposed at least three names (per position) for him to consider so he (has) a shortlist from where he will pick the right ones,” Ochoa said.
Ochoa had said he would keep a low profile even if he would be the “Little President” and would focus on assisting Aquino in making decisions.

DOTC for Binay

Senate Minority Leader Aquilino Pimentel Jr. said Aquino has offered vice president-elect Jejomar Binay the post of secretary of the Department of Transportation and Communications.
But Pimentel said Binay is lukewarm to the offer because he prefers the Department of the Interior and Local Government, which he claims fits his experience and expertise as local chief executive.
“Jojo is reluctant to accept the post,” Pimentel told reporters at yesterday’s Balitaan sa Rembrandt Hotel in Quezon City. Another name is reportedly being considered by Aquino for the top DILG post.
Pimentel said Binay, as DOTC secretary, would play a vital role in helping the new administration bring Mindanao closer to Metro Manila.
“Binay can help the new administration bring down the sea fare to allow farmers to bring their products to the market with lesser cost,” he said.
“I am urging vice president-elect Binay to accept the offer,” he added.
Pimentel also reminded Binay that the power of the DILG chief over local government units has greatly diminished with the enactment of the Local Government Code in 1991.
Makati media relations chief Joey Salgado, however, said Binay will respect Aquino’s prerogative to appoint him to whatever Cabinet position. - With Jess Diaz, Delon Porcalla, Jose Rodel Clapano and Perseus Echeminada
