Ira Panganiban Shares Message to Pres. Duterte to Get Rid of Cronies

Veteran journalist Iran Panganiban one of the vocal supporter of Mayor Rodrigo Duterte shares a very important message to the presumptive President of the Republic of the Philippines. In the official Facebook page of Ira Panganiban, the editor-in-chief of Wheel Philippines Magazine, he asks Mayor Duterte to get rid government of cronies and start with a new slate.




The journalist published his thoughts on the mistakes of the previous administration after the world-renowned People Power 1. On his Facebook post, Panganiban expressed his prayers for the incoming President Duterte and learn from the lessons of 1986 and he should try to get rid of cronies and cronyism and being with a new slate.

According to the journalist statement one of the failures of the 1986 EDSA revolution was when the administration of Pres. Cory Aquino only succeeded in replacing one form of dictatorship with another one. The late Pres. Aquino according to Panganiban only succeeded in appointing the hungry, sidelined oligarchs of pre-Martial Rule and took control of the national government since then.

Here's the Complete Viral Post of Ira Panganiban:

Just my thoughts and a message to PRRD.

--------

1986 was a failure because we only succeeded in replacing one form of dictatorship with another.

The woman we placed in power, sincere and kind as she may have been, only succeeded in appointing the hungry, sidelined oligarchs of pre-Martial Rule.

They who left the country, lived in America, Canada and Europe to wait for the right time to grab power, came home and did so in 1986.

From there, it became an almost steady ride downhill.

Oligarchs took control.

Service and utilities were slowly privatized and handed to powerful families.

Hospitals became private endeavors. Highway building favored toll roads instead of government projects. Power distribution is now in the hands of family corporations. Media became the province of the rich boys. Telecom is a duopoly.

But the most painful part is that the government positions that should be regulating these private businesses, public utilities and services were given to relatives of these powerful families.

The name of the game for the last 30 years was cronyism. They really learned well from the martial rule period.

My prayer today, as we chant change, is for this not to happen again.

I beg presumptive president Rodrigo Duterte to rid his government of cronies. Because this early the signs are already there.

Please sir, you promised us peace and order, service, discipline, stability, progress.

Please sir, let us begin again.

30 years later and we are given another chance, the way we are given one every 6 years.

Please President Duterte, let's give it our biggest try to do it right this time.

We were there at the beginning, we are here for you now, let's be together until the end of our mission.
