Yun naman pala. So, how come Ate Glue has not given smuggling as much attention as the EVAT as a strategy for bridging the fiscal gap? On the contrary, I hear that the current acting Customs Commissioner may be changed because the traditional smugglers have become unhappy.

I have always said the only viable way to stay in power is for her to regain her credibility and moral authority. This, she can do, only if she surprises us with a kind of governance and personal lifestyle that would totally overwhelm even her worst critics.
