Ito yung isa sa mga commonality ni BBM sa previous admin na ayaw ko. Appointing questionable hacks purely out of utang na loob. Still can't get used to seeing press cons and it's fucking Daphne Osena smack dab in the middle. Or Arnell Ignacio handling the plight of OFWs, among many other appointments.
