Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago, one of the prickliest members of the upper chamber, has suddenly gone soft on former De La Salle University president Bro. Armin Luistro, whom Malacañang wants ratified as secretary of the Department of Education.
After threatening on several occasions to block his nomination that was pending before the powerful Commission on Appointments due to alleged “conflicting interests, gross ignorance of the law and political deafness” issues, Mrs. Santiago did the opposite with an about-face maneuver thus paving the way for Luistro’s assumption as DepEd chief with full powers, after allegedly being promised certain concessions by the Palace.
