The President should let the political brickbats flow like water on a duck’s back and spend his time more on the other presidential duties by coordinating the executive branches of government to cope with the recurring natural disasters that beg for long-term solutions and be at the center of it. He should lay aside responding to the political innuendos. If I were in his shoes, I would put my time and effort into the important economic issues besetting the country, first and foremost. I will activate the Development and Budget Coordinating Council (DBCC), which the President heads, to move the economy forward with the right policies and enabling legislations. The DBCC comprises the core economic managers, the Department of Finance secretary, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas governor, the National Economic and Development Authority chair, and the Department of Budget and Management secretary. They should be able to make the blueprint for the short-term, medium-term, and long-term plans to move our economy forward. According to international analysts, we are on the threshold of becoming one of the fastest-growing gross domestic product in the Asia and Pacific region in the years ahead. Challenging us is the oversized 2025 NEP budget of P6.3 trillion, about P1.5 trillion beyond the country’s revenue expectations. We must learn from the ongoing investigation in the Lower House on the hard-earned tax revenues from the sweat and blood of dutiful taxpayers are wantonly wasted, such as those flagged by Commission on Audit in the Office of the Vice President and the Department of Education, where more than P600 million were paid to fictitious atnd nonexistent recipients. A reprehensible insult and a betrayal of trust to those who voted for them. There could be other offices that are guilty of the same. The President should seize the moment. He would be better off spending his remaining term of office concentrating on solving the basic economic problems that we have: uncontrolled inflation, unstable food supply, underperforming agriculture, slow economic development, gross unemployment, etc. These are some of the baseline economic problems calling for solutions. Once the economy grows and people have jobs, the political circus will find a natural end and just fade away. MARVEL K.

Meta makes $1 million donation to #trump’s inaugurationPolice don’t know who he is, where he is, or why he did it. As the frustrating search for UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s killer got underway for a fifth day Sunday, investigators reckoned with a tantalizing contradiction: They have troves of evidence, but the shooter remains an enigma. One conclusion they are confident of, however: It was a targeted attack , not a random one. They know he ambushed Thompson at 6:44 a.m. Wednesday as the executive arrived at the Hilton for his company’s annual investor conference, using a 9 mm pistol that resembled the guns farmers use to put down animals without causing a loud noise. They know ammunition found near Thompson’s body bore the words “delay,” “deny” and “depose,” mimicking a phrase used by insurance industry critics . The fact that the shooter knew UnitedHealthcare group was holding a conference at the hotel and what route Thompson might take to get there suggested that he could possibly be a disgruntled employee or client, NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said. Police divers were seen searching a pond in Central Park, where the killer fled after the shooting. Officers have been scouring the park for days for any possible clues and found his backpack there Friday. They didn’t immediately reveal what, if anything, it contained but said it would be tested and analyzed. On Sunday morning, police declined to comment on the contents of the backpack, or on the results of the search in the pond, saying no updates were planned. Investigators have urged patience, saying the process of logging evidence that stands up in court isn’t as quick as it looks like on TV . Hundreds of detectives are combing through video recordings and social media, vetting tips from the public and interviewing people who might have information, including Thompson’s family and coworkers and the shooter’s randomly assigned roommates at the Manhattan hostel where he stayed. Investigators caught a break when they came across security camera images of an unguarded moment at the hostel in which he briefly showed his face. Retracing the gunman’s steps using surveillance video, police say, it appears he left the city by bus soon after the shooting outside the New York Hilton Midtown. He was seen on video at an uptown bus station about 45 minutes later, Kenny said. With the high-profile search expanding across state lines, the FBI announced late Friday that it was offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction, adding to a reward of up to $10,000 that the NYPD has offered. Police say they believe the suspect acted alone. Police distributed the images to news outlets and on social media but so far haven’t been able to ID him using facial recognition — possibly because of the angle of the images or limitations on how the NYPD is allowed to use that technology, Kenny said. Late Saturday, police released two additional photos of the suspected shooter that appeared to be from a camera mounted inside a taxi. The first shows him outside the vehicle and the second shows him looking through the partition between the back seat and the front of the cab. In both, his face is partially obscured by a blue, medical-style mask. -- By Michael Sisak and Cedar Attanasio, The Associated Press
