‘Saan na nga po ba ang Pangulo?’ Hail, Ka Celing

WHO wants to know? — may put the question in context. Tsikboys, particularly, may all fear the question as if it sounded like “saan na naman kayang ibang kandungan?”

Seriously, where has the Social Welfare and Development Secretary Rolando Joselito Bautista been all this time of virus and calamities? The nation has a right to ask. Should he not be front and center with the Prez along with the Department of Health chief? What we read about is Sen. Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go inaugurating another facility, resulting in arguably unnecessary duplication, instead of strengthening established bureaucratic institutions. Senator Go has PR skills and funding few seem to be able to match and may present its own set of problems. Go to the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) or to Bong’s facility or to both? Turf and budgetary complications just might arise.
