DBM money for faxes, electric fans, and Disaster Assistance etc.
First, even if the Pag-Asa is under the Department of Science and Technology, it is Sec. Gilberto Cojuangco Teodoro, Jr. who is the chief whip of the inter-agency task group that coordinates disaster assistance. . . I was extremely surprised when I was told that suddenly Pag-Asa faxed an unsolicited message from a Quezon City number to selected government offices. Even if the fax contained near-microscopic letters and minute drawings of clouds, rains, suns, it provided a good view of the coming weather conditions and what kind of preparations one should make… It makes Teodoro a good leader, a very good secretary and cabinet man. There aren’t many good Queen’s and King’s Ministers all round us. But Teodoro is a candidate for an Olympic gold medal for being fast on the job. So kudos Mr. Secretary! More of this post here…
