A Philippine Daily Inquirer news item on November 14, 2008 had this banner: “For a job with Obama, be prepared to tell all”.
The news pertains to the strict rules which the President-elect is imposing on all prospective workers for the new US administration. Even former President Bill Clinton had to report all the donors of his private foundation if only to avoid conflict of interest with Hillary’s incoming job as Secretary of State.
A stark contrast with what is happening in our government. This is a bad joke, but not far from the truth: “For a job with Obama, be prepared to be honest. For a job with GMA, be ready to lie; always”.
We are not lacking in examples: Virgilio Garcillano, Benjamin Abalos, Romulo Neri, Joc-joc Bolante, Eliseo de la Paz, and several others.
