So, what’s embattled Customs Commissioner Lito Alvarez waiting for, now that P-Noy has confirmed that he is “unhappy with him?”
This was stated bt -Noy after Alvarez went on a mini-media offensive to defend his year-old record at the agency, it behooves him to finally make a final statement and ease the pain of his unceremonious sacking.
Believe me, it was really unceremonious having been sacked through a pre-taped radio interview before P-Noy left for China last week. Even to people who are not really that impressed with Alvarez’s stint at the bureau it was largely undeserved.

If, as Alvarez claimed, he had some “Big News” to reveal, heavies to name and a “permanent solution” to this multi-billion trade in lost containers, then he has to come out with these pieces of information now. Not later. It is not too soon for him to clear his name and regain his standing. He owes it to himself and his family to reveal what he knows fully and properly not do some kind of a striptease, issuing out bits and pieces of information on the goings-on at the customs office."
