MLA TIMES: YEN MAKABENTA - A GOVERNMENT OF APOLOGIES AND FAILURES
The paradox of the Aquino presidency is that while it is perhaps the most moralistic we've ever had, it also may have tolerated and instigated the most brazen looting of the public treasury ever perpetrated in the country. The big avenger for public rectitude that we saw during the 2010 presidential campaign is in fact largely a bystander in his presidency. He directs Budget Secretary Butch Abad to come up with the schemes to facilitate the looting and make it look legal. He looks away when his appointed executives at the Social Security System and other government corporations illegally allocate public money for their own pockets.
