New Security Adviser for President GMA: Another Hot Issue

Political accommodation never ends in the administration of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. Even if she only have 2 more years to serve, her allies continue to flock her cabinet and other major position in the government. Althoughthis is a prerogative of the president but the question is, how qualified these people are?

Lets take a look at her new appointee, Former Governor Luis Chavit Singson, an administration candidate for senator who lost in the last senatorial elections, is now the new security adviser. If we will take a look at the credential of Singson, can we say that he is capable of doing his job?

Although I want to discuss more the achievements and issues associated with Singson, I rather not. I don't want to be sued for libel for just commenting on his credibility :-). Anyway, we all know something about the former Governor.

Is this in preparation for the coming 2010 Presidential Elections... hmmmm

Lets wait and see what he can do ...
