Aquino finds 3 Cabinet members a big burden


President Benigno Simeon Aquino III said two to three Cabinet members are a big burden to him but he did not name them. Aquino said these Cabinet members often bring "bad news." "Meron akong ilang myembro ng gabinete, mga dalawa hanggang tatlo na kada makita ko kaagad iniisip ko ano kayang bad news ang dala dala nito," the President said in his speech Thursday during the 113th anniversary of the Department of Public Works and Highways. Aquino compared his encounters with those Cabinet members to "acts of penitence." "Yung iba po pinipilit ko na lang po na harapin dahil talagang grabe itong taong ito talagang penitensiya ko na ata sa mundong ito," Aquino said. While Aquino did not name the three people he finds burdensome, he named the three Cabinet members that he enjoys being with. "Si (DPWH Secretary Rogelio) Singson, (Science Secretary) Mario Montejo at marami pang iba, pati na si (Budget Secretary Florencio) Abad na pag nakikita ko kadalasan solusyon ang tangan tangan," he said. When the "good news bearers" seek an appointment with him, he says he immediately approves it. - VVP, GMA News
