The six-year term granted elected presidents of the Philippines, is truly short for a good one, but very long for a bad one. That a Philippine president cannot be reelected is truly sad for a good one, and necessary for a bad one. All this came to mind with the reelection of Donald Trump as president of the United States of America; it should not really bother us except that it seems to be history repeating itself.

Thanks to social media, people want accountability.

The buck stops with the Land Transportation Office LTO that should be obliged to issue a statement regarding the use and abuse of protocol plates. LTO should come clean and publicly state how many of these plates they have issued and to whom. I presume only one set of protocol plates are issued to one vehicle used by a high government official. Its use should not be transferable, if the high official is not on board, and on official business, the vehicle should take them off and use its regular plates.

LTO should let the public know if government officials issued more than one set of protocol plates for their many vehicles, the ones used by immediate family, relatives, and friends who are not entitled to them. Traffic is so bad that some people use detachable markings that make their vehicles out to be police cars or even ambulances.

On this point again, the buck stops with LTO. The abuse of protocol plates is not new, it goes all the way back to Oct. Jose Clarin explaining his use of the No. Quezon, was in the Philippine Islands. I have only used said number when I am acting president of the Senate and even then I do not use No. Hayden was a pack rat who compiled a lot of Philippine material, both official and personal, that are now preserved in the Bentley Historical Library at the University of Michigan.

His scrapbooks show the challenges and concerns that came to his attention, much of it we still have today.
