I've been busy these past days. But, I'm back on board. My last post was, untitled, about the resignation of then Tourism Planning and Promotion Undersecretary Enteng Romano III. Although an extended meaning, it is still about "cleanliness".
The issue that led to his resignation is not about corruption but a simple rejection of his radical idea of promoting the Pearl of the Orient Seas as "Pilipinas, Kay Ganda". That does not worth a resignation. Many in the Department wanted him to stay; perhaps, they are more eager to see "radical" change in his management style, i.e. full transparency of his plans and widest possible consulation with the tourism stakeholders, most especially the DOT career officials and employees who are supposed to be the first to know of whatever plans the new administration has for tourism. He could have introduced novel styles of management out of that mess. Anyway, it is a spilled milk and nothing more we can do but to accept his way of cleaning things up, unfortunately, including himself.
We hope that we will see in the not so distant future worse people in positions doing the same...for the sake of our beloved country, the Pearl of the Orient.
