Usec. Enteng Romano of the DOT has resigned, the only one so far in the long list of Aquino men who are now collectively known and referred to by some commentators and columnists as Sablay (Samar and Balay).
A number of opinion leaders laud Romano’s decision. I am prepared to accord him that respect but not up to the point that we should “romanticize” what he did as something “honorable”. What Enteng did was just right. It is the only appropriate action a public servant must take after compromising the interest of the nation. He resigned because he failed Pnoy, and us. Here’s a rare case of a subordinate willing to do enteng for his boss: (that’s Pnoy, not us.)
This display of decency is what is lacking in government. Enteng’s errors are minor compared to major operational disasters, rubberized executive orders and mistweets. Hopefully, may mahiya. Pero pustahan o, wala nang susunod sa yapak ni Enteng?
Anyway, Romano’s resignation may have temporarily diffused the situation. But Pnoy can’t sweep this again under the rug (with Romano being the rug.) Questions must still be answered. P5 million is P5million. Drama-drama ninyong nagtitipid kayo sa New York di ba?
Well, that’s the problem with people elevating themselves to the moral high ground. Kitang kita lahat ng ginagawa mo at madali kang batuhin. Choice nyo na. Ang tanong: Kaya pa ba?
