In one of my classes at business school, a senior executive resigned as a result of his conflict with his subordinates who belong to a different frat (although they are from the same school in Quezon City. I thought of that as odd ie that the rule of frat prevails over the admin code and the vision and mission of the government. I also thought that the said exec was petty.
At the Senate hearing on BI scandal of bribery, the good chairman pointed out that most of the members of the agency are frat mates: the underlings, and the commissioners being investigated. Some are not frat members but are sons of frat members (brads). The chairman of the committee thought that is rather dangerous (to have the department run under the rule of frats) When that happens there is corruption What is corruption anyway but a system being over run by a virus, or a system that does not work.
We can not come close to the meritocracy of Singapore where they get the best and the fittest. We get only the brads and they could be not necessarily the best.
I thought that under the DU30 admin, there would be a change. Sadly this would not come under his admin. His cabinet is full of brads and mga taga Davao. And they could not necessarily be the best. Wala rin....
Sayang
Scandal at DOJ?
