The remaining 20 months

Recently, the Aquino Cabinet met to have a compact that they will work doubly hard in the next 20 months. They called it a Performance Pledge. Why do we feel its just propaganda? Because Performance Pledges are often made at the beginning of an administration such as in Indonesia and Singapore, where it all started. In our case, why don’t we just have an honest to goodness CSW in the last 20 months so that decisions are based on efficient processing of needed information to arrive at sound decisions instead of half-baked ones like the energy “crisis.”

Twenty months is like November 2014 to June 2016 when actually its just 2 months in 2014, 9 months in 2015 before the filing of the Certificate of Candidacy (COC) scheduled on October 2015 or a total of 11 months and we are being kind since by practice, work ends by 15 December almost every year. That really leaves the Aquino administration 10 months of focus on real work.
