Is President Aquino serious about giving his good friend, just-resigned head of the Bureau of Corrections Ernesto Diokno, another position in government?
What’s the basis for such an appointment? It could not be competence because he has proven as BuCor chief to be clueless about his job.
He said his understanding of his job was just policy-making and he refused to take command responsibility for the violation of his subordinate for allowing former Batangas Governor Antonio Leviste, in prison for the 2007 killing of his business associate Rafael de las Alas, to go out of the jail accompanied by fellow inmates.
Diokno also considered the practice of prisoners living out a “small matter.”
