Like a patient suffering from a terminal illness, a decisive radical therapy must be administered by the incoming administration to save this country from the brink of the state of failure.

The “Bitter Pills” must be prescribed and administered for a corruption-free economic recovery and arrest the gap in the National Budget for the Calendar Year 2011. These should be done for the first six months of President Benigno Simeon Cojuanco Aquino III Administration:

1. Six months moratorium for Pork Barrel Allocation

2. Moratorium on the filling up of vacancies of government position starting with Salary Grade 20 and up, except appointive positions.

3. Early retirement for government officials with pending graft cases

4. Enhanced colection of taxes and penalties from delinquent tax payers

5. Collection of unliquidated cash advances and Commission on Audit dis-allowed disbursement from government agencies and government owned and controlled corporations

6. Resume lifestyle check to all government officials and confiscation of all unexplained wealth and assets.

7. No appointment of recycled politicians and retired generals to cabinet positions, they should rise from the ranks

8. Creation of Presidential Commission on Government Procurement and dismantling the present Board of Awards and Contracts (BAC) in all levels of government bureaucracy

9. Streamline and rationalize government bureaucracy including bureaucratic systems

10. Strengthen and depoliticize Ombudsman

As an initial move, this could pave the way to preparing the groundwork for developing a favorable environment for investment.
