Abad asks critics: ‘What delicadeza?’
By Gerry Baldo 07/20/2010 The presence of many Abads in the Aquino government is pure coincidence, family member Rep. Henedina Abad of Batanes said yesterday. Criticisms involving issues of “delicadeza” or propriety were raised against the appointments of several members of the Abad family in the Aquino government but Rep. Abad said their presence in areas involving appropriations and budgetary work, was purely coincidental. “What is delicadeza?” Abad asked House reporters doing the story on the presence of too many Abads in the Aquino government. Abad, taking the cudgels for her husband, daughter and son, all of whom are holding key positions in the Aquino government, said that there is no such thing as “delicadeza.” She said the issue of their presence in the Aquino government is being blown out of proportion. “I think sometimes the issue is being made bigger, my husband and my daughter, their credentials can speak for themselves. We have always advocated for good governance so they can look at how they perform. In the end their performance would also speak for themselves. Somebody may just be sowing intrigues but I don’t want to dignify such because we have too much work to do,” Abad said.
