Anything Bad or Good starts with something small

Who dos not want progress Mr. Coalition against Corruption? Of course everybody wants it and if sense of urgency is the key to attain it why not? PNoy should not only be the model but he should make it possible because he is the only singular person here in our country who can do it because of his Presidential powers. I newly suggested to COA that they have to start implementing the law related to public financial management by penalizing small violations because anything bad or good always starts with something small and convictions if needed is easier and faster to attain. Conviction itself I think is less important than the message of actual convictions attained that is put across to possible violators all over the country in order to attain better service to the people.The answer of COA thru an email was NO because they would rather concentrate on big cases. Imagine if it was PNoy himself who suggested instead of me. Did you hear of the Window pane theory? Try to review the annual audit reports of COA on all local government units and almost all local government units have committed violations year in and year out like technical malversation of trust funds which supposedly merit sanctions for the violators but left not penalized. If all of them from different towns, cities and provinces were prosecuted and penalized, will anybody among their successors want to experience the same fate by committing the same violations? The answer of course is NO. The rules should be implemented and perceived to be implemented at all times. Then everybody will be encouraged to observe sense of urgency because they will be punished if they fail and on the other hand they mat receive rewards if they deliver as sense of urgency can now yield positive results for them. PNoy has to duplicate himself thru his Secretaries and Bureau chiefs and short circuit the system from his Office to all the local government units thru the aid of technology especially the social networks.But is our government and PNoy listening to us?
