The manner of these high-profile dismissals, I declared then, could be the core hypothesis of DU30’s emerging “whiff of corruption” doctrine. The details will not be discussed here but only the general circumstances against the backdrop of the Duterte Doctrine. I was against the Duterte Doctrine when it was applied against the erstwhile heads of the DILG and NIA. It is likewise true that Usec La Viña was an original close comrade of candidate DU30. Undersecretary La Viña, who has already been dismissed from SSS, should not be allowed to assume his new position until he is first cleared of prior accusations.
