Why Ping resigned
Many reasons have been given why Jose “Ping” de Jesus suddenly resigned as DOTC Secretary last Monday, without even completing 12 months in office.
The oft reported main reason: President Aquino has sustained and retained LTO Chief Virginia Torres, his shooting buddy, against the recommendations of Sec. Ping de Jesus. Sec. de Jesus had wanted to finally dispose of the NAIA-3 problem by settling amicably with Fraport and Piatco. President Aquino reportedly refused upon recommendation of Mar Roxas to approve Sec. Ping’s recommendation.
The many PPP projects under the DOTC have not moved. Some are unacted in Malacañang, some in NEDA and some in DOF. Sec. Ping, the action man felt so frustrated, even isolated. He felt Sec. Purisima was intruding too much into his turf. The privatization of LRT and MRT was another contentious issue.
Probably feeling he is no longer effective, he decided to throw in the towel.
Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile, a long time Cabinet Member agreed. “If I were in Ping’s place, I would also have resigned,” he told reporters. No self-respecting Cabinet Member will stomach being overruled by a subordinate and then supported by the President. That’s equivalent to loss of confidence.
After he submitted his resignation to P-Noy Monday afternoon, he told his undersecretaries: “Since my appointment almost a year ago, that’s the only time I was able to talk to the President for 20 minutes.” He has been heard to tell Cabinet Members not to bring him bad news.
Note too, that President Aquino has not been holding Cabinet meetings regularly.
The original Aquino Cabinet had as its stars Ping de Jesus, Bert Romulo, Jose Rene Almendras, Rogelio Singson and Brother Armin Luistro. They constituted the 1st team. Now two are gone.
DOTC Undersecretaries Glicerio Sicat, Dante Velasco, Ruben Reynoso and Asst. Sec. Aristotle Batuhan have also resigned.
