There's Hope For All The Manicuristas And Gardeners . . .

But what about the drivers, the maids, the cooks or even the washers?

Shouldn't they get juicy government positions as well?

Oh wait, I guess they can if only they work for President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

No offense to all of the above mentioned jobs but what in the world . . . and I leave it at that.

OK OK I actually have no problem with the appointment of Armando Macapagal (apparently no relation to the President) as an appointee with the Luneta Park Administration.

After all he is a gardener in Malacañang so he knows what it takes to take care of park like vistas and all that. Whether or not he knows anything of administration is another thing altogether.

As for manicurist Anita Capron that should not be the case. Granted I know not the academic background or experience of Ms. Capron but a manicurista to be a trustee of the Home Development Mutual Fund (Pag-ibig)?

Give us a break. Loyalty is one thing and yes ordinary citizens should be given a chance whenever possible but seriously.

I hope they prove me wrong. I hope that they are able to rise to the occasion and do something worthier than the person who appointed them or the other appointees who got there by political clout.

Hmmmm maybe they know juicy tidbits that Arroyo doesn't want found so this is a way to assure their silence - other than making them disappear permanently of course.

But then again this action is par for the course for Arroyo. She's already done midnight appointments to such government entity as the Supreme Court so who cares about this now.

Well maybe the drivers, the maids, the cooks or the washers . . .
