There's weighty wisdom in that romantic refrain that the value of someone or something is only appreciated when that special someone or something shall have been lost. More often than not, such value or its fitting appreciation, or endearment, is just taken for granted before the loss. And that's the tragic irony.

Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) chief Gen. Hermogenes Esperon has denied submitting to President Arroyo a shortlist containing six names of possible replacements for outgoing Defense Secretary Avelino Cruz, but admitted that "the President asked me about a name, one name, about a person."

When asked to reveal the name he was referring to, Esperon said: "I’d rather not comment."

Ang initial na reaksyon ng Malacañang sa katauhan ni Press Secretary Ignacio "Toting" Bunye ay "Secretary Cruz has submitted his resignation but President Arroyo is not taking any action," ay patunay na natataranta sila sa sinumiteng irrevocable resignation ng isa sa dating senior partner ng tinatawag na THE FIRM.

They all agreed that the Manila Domestic Airport is an embarrassment and a symbol of what is wrong with government bureaucrats today. So, they were curious how such incompetence was explained away.
