There’s nothing wrong with PCSO distributing much needed ambulances to local government units. The question is in the manner in which they were distributed. Certainly, there’s nothing irregular with all but 3, which got 2 each, of the 29 congressmen getting 1 each, our own (Calbayog City) included. But the same could not be said of the 65 governors, of whom ten, who got as many 22, in the case ofGov. Savellano as clarified in the senate hearing, are rumored allied with former president GMA.(Alleba Politics)
It’s difficult to ignore the inequity especially if you come from a province which finds conspicuous the absence of any ambulances. Former speaker lamely attempted to deflect the blame by pointing that former Gov. Among Panlilio got 5. People seem to understand the difference between 5 and 22 or 20, he seems to forget.
That said, however, the current leadership should not stop at uncovering and parading anomalies in the media as if it were its mandate. Most important is to get its own programs in motion and unimpeded or undistracted by every little bump that faintly suggests any irregularity. I hope it (PCSO) does not harbor any illusion that the distribution of ambulances is unworthy of pursuit. It must continue and it has a long way to go, but to avoid the same flak, PCSO must provide for substantial standard for their distribution and comply with it. Right now, what I hear is for a standard, PCSO simply ask: “Can you GAS it?
I would like to see PCSO more working closely with LGUs for their needs vis-à-vis its capacity not only in the distribution of ambulances, but in the general execution of its mandate as a charitable institution, than trumpeting past wrongs in the media. The republic does have a forum for that, it is called the court.
