DISCUSSIONS are aplenty on survey results as well as the Kalye surveys being made by some to really send the message on problems being felt thrown to the wayside and issues not being handled properly by the alter egos (Cabinet secretary) of BBM and the active role of the first lady in governance. It has been suggested by many to give the first lady a position so she becomes accountable and transparent in her involvement.

Though the Pahayag Quarter 2 survey showed interesting results in terms of performance, approval, trust and what BBM needs to address going into Quarter 3, informal talks are said to be going on, saying 'we just need to ride out' the term and hope he does not cause much damage considering the various conflicts of interest surrounding the administration from day one, the incendiary manifestation of crony capitalism and nepotism on the one side, and policy issues that have affected the bureaucracy like the MUP, the incessant push for MIF, and others that restrict the possible evolution toward good governance.
