Gov’t caretaker unnecessary — Binay
09/21/2010
Vice President Jejomar Binay yesterday said he has no problem with President Aquino’s “no caretaker” policy for his one-week working visit to the United States.
“With all the available communications technology, appointing a caretaker would be unnecessary since the President can constantly keep in touch with the Cabinet and key government officials,” he pointed out.
Aquino is addressing the United Nations General Assembly and meeting with US President Barack Obama and counterparts from Southeast Asia as well as top US businessmen during his first overseas trip as President of the Republic.
Binay, in a state-ment, said for him “what is important is that the day-to-day business of govern-ment remains unin-terrupted.”
He added he has been instructed by Aquino to perform certain duties and that he will perform these as instructed.
