"Law bender" unbecoming of a lawmaker - statesmanship needed pa more

It is more fun criticizing

There is a new buzz going around town coming from a sitting lawmaker law bender.   Wala nang batas2!

This has drawn a lot of flak from  netizens legal circles and public at large.

Perhaps the good senator is tired and sick of parliamentary niceties and technicalities of the law.  And maybe why he said that.  But that has put his office and the institution into being irrelevant and to be embarrassed of.   There has to be parliamentary order so that the gentlemen there would not engage in fistfight.  Training and familiarity with the job is probably needed.    From being a journo to that of a statesman

Cleansing of 4ps list of recipients

It is more fun criticizing

This  post congratulates Sec. Erwin Tulfo for cleansing the list 4ps beneficiary in addition to reminding office staff who do not answer the hot lines of the department.  This goes a long long way in making sure that the department becomes efficient and responsive to the citizenry.

This is a great balancing act when purging the list of recipeints.  What is the point when aid is needed by the "poorest of the poor"  or when is culture of mendicancy to be discouraged.

While there are severe criticisms to the former Senator of being coward for non appearance at debate or

bobo for alleged non completion of  his Oxford degree, the good senator appeared well informed and well versed in govt administration.  One is amazed on the breadth and depth of his understanding of various topics:

     1.  Debt management

     2.  Food security

     3.  Foreign policy

     4.  Jobs and economy

     5.  Death penalty

     6.  Civil service

     7.  Long term and short term vision for the country

     8.  Health care

     9.   Ease of doing business

   10.  Continuance of DU30 pogram

It does not look he is being teleprompted or coached.  He looked spontaneous and the interview did not

like rehearsed.  

While Dr. Atty Montemayor on same program appeared very sagacious he approached the discussion from an academic point of view.

Of those who are on the list of presidentiable he looks like he is most capable of running the nation

Leni Robredo plan for the govt   Looks more like band aid and limited in scope
