SEN. GRACE POE ON THE RESIGNATION OF SEC. AGUIRRE

It proves one constant in Cabinet appointment -- Pwede kang ma-endo anytime by the President. One minute you are the lord in your little kingdom, the next minute, you are clearing your desk. Whether the exit was graceful or unceremonious, one thing is also certain -- the actions undertaken by the resigned official while in office can be assessed and if abuses or oversight were committed, he cannot claim immunity from having to account for them. Hindi maaaring kapag napaso sa publiko, papalitan na lang nang walang kaparusahan o pagkastigo man lang.? The next step is for the President to endorse a new Justice Secretary to the Commission on Appointments, which vets the nominees. We welcome this opportunity for the Chief Executive to appoint a replacement suited for the position.
