Philippines as Independent Nation
The President never wanted the
official residence of the country’s president to be called Malacañan Palace
anymore, he wants it more to be called ‘Palace
of the People’ instead. I agree with him when he said that it is not even
of Filipino Language origin – a true heirloom from our previous Spanish
colonizers. He has been consistent with
his ideal of the Philippines as Independent Nation – same is true with his
plans of us making our very own International Foreign Policy.
That is also obvious with his
objections and anger when other rulers try to degrade him with words/accusations
– as he said he is not just a city Mayor
now, he is now the country’s President! He is but right to do that because those who
pretend to be friends speaks on his back about their unsolicited comments when
they could have meet personally and could have discussed it then for him to
have defended his nationalistic efforts of conserving the future generation of
our homeland.
In fairness with President Obama,
MAYBE he really has no intentions of meddling with our affairs – it so happened
that a representative of a media in a press con has asked his opinion about
EJK. If many had opined that Pres.
Duterte should have been cautious of his words – the MORE caution must be
exercised by the President of the deemed to be most powerful nation in the
world. His words could have influenced a
lot of people worldwide – and IF he happens to misconceived what is really
happening here, it would damage our President’s reputation as well as the
senate’s and even the country as a whole. Because, his opinion is not based on
FACTS and the real situation; it may IMPLY that we CONDONE IF THERE IS
INJUSTICE and us Filipinos are blindly adoring the President. He is merely
looking at the surface and maybe one of those who wanted to believe that all
the killings are attributable to the administration disregarding the MIGHT of
the syndicates running drugs as well as those who had been connected and protectors
who were publicly exposed that could possibly be among the suspects who get
those drug personalities dead so their dark secrets can be hidden forever.
It is but right for the President to
stand his ground and speak-out and be furious about the baseless comments.
Remember two policemen daily also dies in the drug campaign IF THE GOVERNMENT
runs the drug campaign on its own liking there would never be a dead policeman
nor a relieved men in duty. There is still justice prevailing in this country,
if the president is a real killer – I think De Lima has not reached the senate
because of her endless accusations or even Matobato-
the ‘witness’ that even a lie
detector machine will fail, what more to the members of the legislative body
who are mostly lawyers in educational attainment.
The President may be TOO HONEST with
his feelings towards those involved in drugs. And for his first 100 Days, he is
brave enough to answer those who wanted us to ‘keep our mouth shut and bowing’
all the time.
The Launch
of the National Complaints Hotline 8888
This VERY HELPFUL hotline was
established to answer the public’s need for faster, reliable and ZERO-QUEUE
service from public/government employees remunerated from their paid taxes.
It was known to have hasten
processing of personal documents obtained from various government agencies such
as NSO (Birth/Marriage/CENOMARCertificates) , LTO (Driver’s Licenses, Renewal
of Vehicle Registration), NBI (NBI Clearance)etc. The became USUAL queuing of
people from inside the offices to the adjacent street roads with duration from
two hours to even days had become less than an hour to finish although you have
to come back not later than TWO-THREE days after for the document, not like before that you are there for that
long and then asked to come back spending time, effort and money just to be
told TO COME BACK AGAIN.
I think few months of adjustment from the pending jobs received by each
government agency can soon make way for the INSTANT release of documents in the
future. It is understandable that they had to finish
the backlog from the ‘turtle-like service’
they are providing before that no matter how they deny it or whatever alibis
they have, had become the system in here in our home land . I am really hopeful
that what the President wanted to see and experience by the public is the REAL
use of modern technology – COMPUTERS – I remember him saying in one of his
speeches that if a government agency can not act FAST having computers in their
offices, they should junk them because there is no difference at all compared
to not having one around.
Having the hotline, every public
servant is guaranteed to please every Filipino because IF NOT, expect that it
will no longer be tolerated. The Civil Service Commission is the frontrunner
for the complaints hotline.
