Abolition of strategic communications office makes good sense

WE take time to comment today on the announced abolition of the Strategic Communications Office (SCO) in Malacañang. For something strategic, meaning vital and important for the attainment of objectives, we naturally supposed that abolition would be the least likely fate of the SCO.

Based on the evidence, however. the SCO is not strategic at all. It is understandable and to be expected that Presidential Communications Secretary Martin Andanar, through Office Order 26, has decided to formally abolish the SCO as a unit of the Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) in line with the ongoing reorganization of its communications functions and services in the administration.
