Senators back FMJ sweeping revamp
By Nidz Godino
“For me, this is good move because admittedly, not all secretaries of government agencies are efficient… other secretaries or government officials who don’t really do their jobs or their work has had no impact on people,” Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian supports for President Ferdinand MarcosJr.’s sweeping government reorganization, calling it necessary move amid concerns over inefficiency of some department secretaries.
“What’s important is action and decisiveness ,secretaries who know what to do, who choose to act and not just talk…sometimes these people are good in theory but in practice, they have nothing to offer,” he added.
Echoing Gatchalian’s sentiments, Senators JV Ejercito and Pia Cayetano said directive is necessary push for accountability and urgency within administration.
Ejercito described move as “good start,” but cautioned that merely reshuffling Cabinet is not enough to resolve deeper systemic issues in government.
“Reboot is good start but changing faces in cabinet isn’t enough…this should serve as wake-up call for everyone to be on their toes,” he said.
He added that under-performing officials who have hindered administration’s momentum should be removed.
“Cleansing must continue…those who have weighed down administration and wasted President’s goodwill must be removed… time to choose leaders who understand realities on the ground and who will serve with urgency, not excuses,” Ejercito stressed.
Cayetano, for her part, stressed that realignment should focus on improving lives of ordinary Filipinos.
“At the heart of this realignment must be commitment to providing families with quality public services that improve their daily lives and strengthen our communities,” she added.
In response to mounting criticisms, particularly from allies of former president Rodrigo Duterte, Malacañang defended call for Cabinet courtesy resignations and described detractors as “obstructionists.”
Presidential Communications Undersecretary Claire Castro said calls for President Marcos to resign are self-serving, as this would pave way for Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio to assume presidency.
“They are the obstructionists who are not doing anything but to criticize things the President and government do…they do not see good things,” Palace press officer said.
“These are people we should not believe in because they do not make sense,” she added.
Earlier, former presidential spokesman Harry Roque claimed Philippines is “heading to hell” and said that Cabinet resignations would not solve country’s problems.
Roque, reportedly seeking political asylum in the Netherlands due to alleged political persecution, called on Marcos to step down and let Vice President Duterte lead the country.
Another Duterte ally, former executive secretary Vic Rodriguez, dismissed Cabinet reshuffle as “cosmetic change,” insisting that root of the problem lies with the President himself.
Castro claimed Roque’s legal cases might be dismissed if Duterte assumes presidency.
“I am not saying that will happen but it may happen so they are promoting Sara… that is so self-serving,” Castro said.
Citing the need to “realign government with people’s expectations,” President Marcos called for courtesy resignation of all Cabinet members, surprise move following what was seen as weak showing by administration allies during midterm elections.
ISKUP!
