Senator JV Ejercito, meanwhile, asked the President to appoint experts to key government agencies, not allies.“Is party affiliation now the primary qualification to be appointed to government positions? Whatever happened to competence?” he asked.Ejercito said that some positions required technical knowhow that political appointees did not have.He pointed to failures at the Energy Department.“We have a secretary who is a politician and novice in the energy sector. Instead of surrounding Secretary Jericho Petilla with industry professionals, why surround him with more politicians?”He also said the management of the Metro Rail Transit was a mess because engineers were not in charge.Ejercito added that Arroyo’s term was characterized by retired military officers being given various government positions.“Now under the Aquino administration, it is the end-term politicians and political allies being given juicy posts,” he said.
