BLURBAL THRUSTS |
Louie Logarta |
At the onset of the P-Noy administration, Malacañang lawyers led by the crafty Executive Secretary Jojo Ochoa drafted Executive Order (EO) 2 which was primarily designed to rid the government of the so-called “midnight appointees” of former President Arroyo who were placed in office purely for political considerations and not their competence in their chosen fields.
Crudely, midnight appointments can be described as Arroyo’s way of providing a pabaon or going-away present for those people whom she considered friends or deemed had stayed loyal to her.
While it was welcomed initially with open arms by the public, who had gotten so up to their necks with the abuses and inadequacies of the previous dispensation and were willing to settle for change at any cost, it is becoming slowly and painfully clear that EO 2 isn’t actually the miracle cure the doctor had prescribed to attain this objective soonest.
