Cabinet secretaries who are chosen for their field of expertise tend to return to where they are from and shine further, once out of office.
And so Angel C. Alcala returned to his favorite studies of the denizens of the deep, and Elisea "Betbet" Gozun was even recognized by the United Nations Environment Programme as one of the world's global environmental leaders while heading various organizations with environmental concerns, and Victor O. Ramos became the adviser of the
Philippine Environmental Governance Program (Ecogov) of the USAid.
On the contrary, former Environment Secretary Michael Defensor has just signed a multi-billion deal with a Chinese company to explore nickel in Zambales.
Hindsight is indeed 20/20. May that hindsight guide us and may we not forget who among our leaders had more foresight and sincerity.
