A political analyst thinks that President Rodrigo Duterte will appoint the right individuals to his Cabinet, following the example of former
President Joseph "Erap" Estrada.
Sociologist Randy David said that former president Estrada recognizes that a president cannot run the country on 'charisma'. Thus, he needs competent individuals in top positions in the executive.
"Ang gagaling ng Gabinete ni Erap sapagkat kinilala niya ang kahalagahan ng pagkakaroon ng matatalino, talentadong miyembro ng Gabinete," he said.
"Gagamitin mo ang karisma mo subalit ang mga magtatrabaho at talagang haharap sa suliranin ng bayan ay iyung pinkamagaling sa ating bansa. Makikita iyan sa appointments sa Gabinete."
Duterte said Monday he was looking into putting close friends and former military men in his Cabinet.
