Unproductive fixation

I quite agree with Albay Rep. Edcel Lagman’s observation that Congress’ fixation with the impeachment of Chief Justice Renato Corona is taking its toll on its legislative work and the government’s management of the economy. (Inquirer, 2/2/12)

Congress should focus more on enacting laws and meaningful reforms for the benefit of our people and the country as a whole, and not solely on the impeachment of Corona.

With the economic crisis currently hobbling the Western world, the present administration should give more emphasis on job creation for the unemployed and on public spending on vital infrastructure projects of the government.

Time is of the essence and the Aquino administration should act boldly, swiftly and decisively in addressing the economic woes besetting our country today.
