Open season. Members of Congress are having a field day getting GMA to approve their recommendations for appointments and requests for funds.
Armand Arreza, recommendee of Sen. Richard Gordon and cousin of Rep. Prospero Pichay, has been appointed administrator of Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority causing the irrevocable resignation of Chairman Francisco Licuanan, a former Ayala Executive who served for less than a year.
Rep. Rodolfo Valencia got GMA to attend a groundbreaking of his new building in Tagaytay and got his casino license approved.
Two Moslem congressmen got their brothers appointed to high positions. Two Southern Luzon congressmen got their protegeé appointed undersecretary of a major department.
Twenty-five million pesos in provincial development assistance fund (PDAF) or “pork barrel” is being released by the Department of Public Works and Highways to supportive congressmen in addition to the original P40 million allocation.
Media reports say GMA cancelled an appointment to visit Malabon to launch a project of Mayor Tito Oreta because of the objection of Rep. Ricky Sandoval.
Government officials cannot displease or refuse congressmen's requests these days. An angry congressman can ask the President to fire you and GMA will probably accommodate. This is happening in the Insurance Commission.
All these are bad signs that no real governance can be expected from GMA. Emy Boncodin, Dinky Soliman, Ging Deles, Mely Nicolas and their Hyatt 10 colleagues have been proved right. How long can we allow these?
Ka-inggit naman!!! GRRRR!!! LMAO!
