NANINIWALA ang opposition legislator na si Albay Rep. Edcel Lagman na hindi dumaan sa tamang proseso ang mga itinatalaga sa Gabinete ni Pangulong Bongbong Marcos matapos magsunod-sunod ang resignation ng tatlong matataas na opisyal bago pa ang ika-100 araw nito sa pwesto.
“When Cabinet secretaries so early in their tenure vacate their posts, either voluntarily or forcibly, then the vetting process on their appointments is grossly wanting. The qualification, character, and integrity of presidential appointees reflect on the wisdom or caprice of the appointing authority,” sabi ni Lagman.
Kahapon, nagbitiw sina Press Secretary Trixie Angeles at Commisison on Audit (CoA) chairman Jose Calida, ilang araw matapos naman magbitiw bilang Executive Secretary si Vic Rodriguez.
“While partisan credential influences appointments, it must not be ascendant to talent, merit, and experience. It is conceded that the President has the power to appoint members of his cabinet but he must be discerning and cautious in the exercise of such power because public funds must not be wasted on the emoluments of undeserving functionaries,” dagdag ni Lagman.
