Aquino administration re-discovering the straight road?

Aquino rediscovering the
true and straight road?

President Aquino just sold his Porsche for 4.6 million pesos. That car has been with him for only a few months but probably due to "pressure" (some say from his sisters), Noynoy was convinced to part with it. 


When I heard that he did this, I sighed and cried. Is this the start of a new beginning for this administration? I hope so.


I really hope that Aquino will now face these challenges with a broader than usual perspective and a strong political will. 


I really hope that Aquino continues to open his ears to suggestions and critiques (not criticisms) since these are being done for his benefit. 


If Pnoy was able to part with his precious dream car, will he also have the gall to part with his "shooting buddies" and erring classmates who put him under very humiliating circumstances in the past?


I am referring to Margie Juico, who continues to say that there are anomalies in the PCSO without legally substantiating them. Juico, I think, is a Trojan Horse. The entire deck of cards against the former regime would fall by the second, the public discovers that these PCSO board allegations are all PR stunts. 


Based on a review of the PCSO charter, there is nothing legally infirm about donations given to the Church. The Supreme Court already clarified and classified the term donations given by the PCSO to church and religious affiliations. 


Fact is, Juico even admitted that they are very worried about this since this allegation against the Church is largely unfounded and has no basis in law. Again, a review of the PCSO charter will show that no irregularity in giving donations to churches and religious groups. 


Nothing wrong again with giving donations to local government units, this has been admitted again by Juico in her interview with Ted Failon yesterday. Failon commented the piece meal thing the PCSO is doing, even alleging that the PCSO is conducting a PR campaign instead of really showing a very tight legal case.


Morato etal should file libel cases against Juico since Juico is churning up allegations against allegations without legal basis. Juico is liable for libel.


Aquino should fire Juico and the entire PCSO board for murking up these cases against Arroyo. 


This goes to Virgie Torres, who was investigated for alleged complicity in the stradcom ownership dispute. Same goes to shooting buddy Undersecretary Puno who remains at the DILG but without any legitimate function. We are paying for the salary of someone who's useless.


Other Cabinet members fit for retirement are Customs chief Angelito Alvarez and other members of GOCCs particularly of RPN 9.
