Minister Jose Conrado Benitez should be commended for ordering an investigation into the anomalous sale of P30 million worth of government construction materials to the Pampango businessmen (BT, Feb. 5). The person responsible is said to be Manila-based official of the Ministry of Human Settlement (BT, Fem. 4).
I am very confident that his Honor will pursue this investigation with the same vigor with which he has involved himself in the case of the MHS official who diverted government construction materials to his house and the house of his in-laws.
Such acts by public officials like Mr. Benitez have great impact on
our confidence in the governments’ sincerity. To Mr. Benitez, I can only
say, "More power to you, sir."
