The
letter of sefl-relinquishment submitted by the 12 collectors of custom is
doubtlessly a confirmation of the well-entrenched corruption in the notorious
Bureau of Customs which P-INOY wants overhauled. Others may see it as
half-baked and insufficient to convincingly dispel doubts of cleansing the
graft-ridden office from scalawags, but psychologically and by itself this is
good enough to get the ball rolling. It brings back hope to rejuvenate the
chorus of public outcry seeking to restore respect, dignity and honor in
government service.
Aside
from establishing the iron-clad will of the Aquino administration by purging
all vestiges of high-placed political patronage and fixing the holes of
possible sources of corruption which seem to ingrain into the core of
the Bureau of Customs, the latest development brings us close to reclaiming the
realization of our wish that there is always time for everything. Nobody is
untouchable and nothing is impossible if we talk about change.
As
we know it, there is so much work to be done taking into consideration the
inequitable opportunity to earn for a decent living among the forgotten sectors
of society, the taxpayers and the downtrodden who want to see a fair deal of
sharing the economic pie instead of allowing just a handful of corrupt public
officials to squander everything to their heart's content at the expense of
public trust.
