OP-ED COLUMN: That woman Sandra (S)Cam – by Ramon T. Tulfo

OPINION ON PAGE ONE

AS the conquering Roman emperor enters his city state amids cheers from an adulatory crowd, his assistant who is with him on his chariot constantly whispers in his ear: “Thou art mortal.”

The victors in the recent elections should take the above scene to heart.

Yes, you are flush with victory; euphoria is a natural human emotion.

But be also aware that your newly acquired power is temporary, that it will come to an end later.

Be humble and magnanimous then in victory, and fate will be very kind to you when your time to go comes.

Balutan was an honest man and his resignation was forced on him due to intrigues within the agency.

When he was still in the military service, Balutan’s record was untainted by corruption or allegations of corruption.

Some subordinates at the PCSO peddled lies against Balutan to certain Malacañang officials who, in turn, passed on the canard to the President.
Balutan’s reinstatement will put to shame those PCSO intriguers and gullible Palace officials.

She said she would ask President Digong to let her go.

“I want to meet with you and I will ask you to relieve me [from my position]” because, she said, “she could no longer take the corruption in this agency (PCSO).”

Hey, woman, why do you have to meet with the President in order to ask him to let you go when you could just write him a letter of irrevocable resignation?

Truth is, Cam is a very spoiled woman and wants to always have her way.

But the PCSO board is a collegial body, meaning what she wants will have to jibe with those of her fellow board members.

She is also the No. 1 intriguer in the PCSO, and rumors have it that she was the one who fed a Palace official the lie that Balutan had accepted bribe money, which the Palace official readily believed and passed on to the President.

With Cam gone, that means one less intriguer in the snake pit that is the PCSO.

By the way, Cam is not as clean as she projects herself to be.

Ask her fellow PCSO officials and employees.

Before she was appointed to the PCSO, Cam made a scene at the VIP lounge at the airport when she was not given attention. She shouted for all and sundry to hear that she was about to be appointed to the Cabinet.

FYI: The PCSO board directorship is not a Cabinet position.
