Cleaning the House for the smooth transition of power

What incoming Aquino administration should prioritize now is the cleaning the house before assuming presidency. The barometer of good government and attracting both local and foreign investors is the political stability of this country. Team Aquino should do now lay-down the policy of the new administration what do people expect from them. New administration needs strong, stable decisive government and it is in the national interest that we get that on secure basis on their comprehensive programs that people benefits from it. LP Party bet Noyno Aquino-III has no clear platforms of government in all his campaign speeches. He is more on rhetoric speaker rather than have clear-cut policy can offer to the people.

With the Liberal Party (LP) scenario after post-election they belong to a minority government in both Houses of Congress would might have possible of “Hung Congress”, it need to begin rebalancing the political spectrum for gaining supports from both houses. Aquino government has to accept that he fell short of majority government. Team Aquino should do now thinking of coalition government to fill-up the control of the two houses. I think it is now for the LP to prove it is capable of seeking to govern in the national interest of the republic. Unity government is necessary the only alternatives solution for Aquino government to succeed on his quest for change and reform governance.

 By this time Team Aquino should have the listing names of both re-elected and new elected Senators, Congressmen and Congresswomen scouting for the possible political alliances of his administration setting aside partisan politics. What president-elect Noysoy should do now delegate his political team as lobbyist for special interest of his legislative agenda need a common supports from two houses, Ala President Barack Obama when he assume office at the White House. He appointed personal staff for special interest of both the White House and Capitol Hill, when he institute reform for American politics. No harm of copying other public policy when public interest at stake,  and if the purpose is for the general interest of the Filipino people, right minds will not object for any sounding proposal if for the good of all.

It is not denying facts Aquino administration will inherit a nation with a complex problems by the decade long  of Marxist underground movement, Muslim resistance, military unrest, corruption, violent crimes, political strife and the number one problem is to fight poverty over mix society from Batanes to Jolo Sulu. Without boldly and honest president to lead the nation by example you might be the same a lame duck president as your predecessor PGMA did of her Nine Years in Office at the end of your of term. Hope you don’t fail us Noy….
