                    [Summary] => No more textbook scams at the Department of Education, Culture and Sports (DECS).


New Education Secretary Raul Roco told DECS officials and employees yesterday he was not bothered by surveys showing the department as one of the most corrupt government agencies.

"Perception does not really reflect reality," he said. "I intend to make transparency and truthfulness the DECS’s guiding principles."

Espesyal na tungkulin ng Presidente, Bise, mga senador at congressman, huwes ng Korte Suprema, Ombudsman, at pinuno ng COMELEC, CSC at COA ang pagtataguyod ng tiwalang bayan.

Apat ang sakdal sa paratang na ito:

Could tremendous pressures of the Presidency be driving him to the booze and into blissful amnesia? Or is he living in a make-believe world where he and kith and kin can do no wrong?

Whichever, critics are wondering why, without batting an eyelash, Joseph Estrada keeps daring them to name names whenever they decry cronyism. More so since names they've named already have seen print.

There's presidential cousin Celia Ejercito de Castro, for one, who was found lobbying for release of P240 million in textbook funds.

Entertainment brought Joseph Estrada to the pinnacle of power. Nineteen months into his term, he's still entertaining us -- for the wrong reasons. He announces there's a crisis, then forgets that he ever said it. He grants conditional pardon to a priest's killer, then expresses surprise that he signed the document.
