Recalibration

EDITORIAL

- 

No more business as usual — it's time for Cabinet members to get out of their comfort zones.

President Marcos said this as he called on all his Cabinet-level officials to submit courtesy resignations yesterday. His call, which he said was about "performance, alignment and urgency," was issued over a week after candidates of the administration's Alyansa Senate slate fared badly in the midterm elections.

Of the 12 original Alyansa candidates, one dropped out and was endorsed by the Dutertes: the President's sister, Sen. Imee Marcos. Another Alyansa bet, Las Piñas Rep. Camille Villar, was also endorsed by Vice President Sara Duterte.
