Jove talks of an encounter with Budget Secretary Emilia Boncodin:


She’s the kind of secretary who answers the media honestly,

in a straightforward manner and very candidly. Never afraid to use

plain tagalog words. Never conscious if her facial expressions give

away stuff. Parang laging nakikipag usap sa kapitbahay lang niya. To

think, her department is a complicated department that deals with

equations and numbers, in short: my hated subject, MATH.



Having previous dealings with Secretary Boncodin, or Emmy

as she is fondly called by those close to her, I can personally attest

to her being very candid and practical especially with money

matters.  I can’t help but think that she’s the government

official most beset with headaches, her agency

being the one responsible for appropriating funds for much of

government’s expenditures–yes, even to the last staple wire or paper

clip.


She must be really passionate about her job, having stayed on this

long, an even as her colleagues in the current Administration’s

economic team had long resigned or been replaced.
