For more than a month and even much earlier, it was time for a shift or change of loyalty for the hanger-on, the opportunist and some of those who truly mean well for the new President and his administration.
Some people have a very canny way of worming themselves to the new power that be. To politicians, the trapols or trapos, this change in loyalty is a way of life. these are the more dangerous members of any government.
The 21-minute inaugural speech of President Aquino was an assurance of many changes in governance something long overdue.
The President’s speech in Pilipino was intended to be understood by every Filipino. His message was clear, change for the better. As a start we hope to see this in the first year of his presidency – not in the first 100 days which is too short considering the enormity of the problems facing his administration.
If there are midnight appointments unearthed were some midnight disbursement of funds. You guess it right, on intelligence funds. Reports said that auditors are looking into suspected unauthorized and illegal use of intelligence funds at the Department of National Defense. You know who were the Secretary of Defense in the arroyo administration.
Cha Cha again? Why not if a law to that effect is passed by the 15th Congress.
Representative Gloria Arroyo wants cha cha through a constitutional convention. I believed this is acceptable even by some who were earlier opposed to cha cha.
Indeed, there should be changes in the constitution. However, some opposition members are not amenable to a change in the form of government from presidential to parliamentary.
If their fears are anchord in the possibility of former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo will aim to be prime minister, they should wait and see the kind of parliamentary system that a constitutional convention will provide.
