THE TYPHOONS IN the recent past have caused the loss of billions or trillions worth in agricultural and food products, among others. Such were causeddirectly by ghost and sub-standard flood control and other infrastructural projects, resulting likewisenationwide in the loss of livelihoods or employment of countless breadwinners, homelessness, and widespread destructions of roads, office buildings, schoolclassrooms and other structures.
This chaos impacting the Filipino people today, due tothe corruption (as publicly exposed in the live-streamed investigations in the Senate and House of Representatives), carried out by senators, congressmen, cabinet secretaries, LGU officials and AFP/PNPofficers, is essentially the fruit of misgovernance by President Bongbong Marcos and VP Sara Duterte. That’s the basic principle of command responsibility.
As president and vice-president—Bongbong and Sara— having been children of the country’s past presidents, should have learned at least the basics of management. They could have learned how best to avoid their fathers’ serious mistakes and failures, and more appropriately, even learn from their good decisions, if any, in the face of critical national political, economic and socio-cultural issues adversely affecting the nation at crucial times in their incumbency.
So far, however, Bongbong and Sara, as holding the top two highest national positions in government, have miserably failed the Filipino people, since their installation (highly questionable as claimed by IT experts) as president and vice president of the countryin 2022.
NOT GOOD MANAGERS
One big reason, perhaps for their inability to be good managers in the face of the countless problems facing the country, is that they are naturally “bobos,” as soc med netizens often brand them. And, more relevantly, Bongbong and Sara, are considered as “corrupt and cheaters,” much alike their fathers, as presidents in the past. This is most likely the main reason why these two topmost leaders of the country simply could not and cannot overturn or eschew the corrupt and cheating nature of their fathers’ misgovernance character.
The people really wonder why these two leaders cannot see or know what is right and what is wrong in their decision-making at the highest level of governance over the country.
Bongbong and Sara somehow cannot understand that when they took their oaths of office, they were to observe and promote the Philippine Constitution and the Rule of Law in whatever they decide on how to address any crisis situation the country is facing at any time.
Apparently, they are too ignorant to know or perhaps, deliberately neglect to comply with their basic mandate “to build a just and humane society.” They worked as a team to be elected into office (as they cheated with Comelec chair George Erwin Garcia and Smartmatic, as discovered by the IT experts, TNTrio and other professional IT groups and individuals), but given their own inherent personal dynastic self-serving character of greed and corrupt-mindset, they could not work as a team eventually.
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?
So, what can the people expect in the coming months?
More problems, probably, such as the presidential baby, Independent Commission on Infrastructure (ICI), which netizens have opined will likely be unable to jail one corrupt senator or congressman.
To publicly emphasize that their partnership has been a sham all along, VP Sara Duterte has kept mouthing in mainstream media that President Bongbong is to be blamed for all the problems facing the nation.
It’s an ironical stupid stance, because she herself has been responsible for zero-performance as VP and as DepED secretary.
The truth is, given her bloody stint as Davao Citymayor, she deserves to join her father in the Hague.
Well-done analysis sirBon!
