It has become apparent that in publicly censuring the officials of the Bureau of Customs, all that Aquino wanted was for them to submit their resignations in order to give him a free hand to select who to retain and remove, without benefit of due process and without anyone being made accountable for their crimes.
Nagiging malinaw na sa pagpuna sa publiko sa mga upisyal ng Bureau of Customs, nais lamang sa kanila ni Aquino na magsumite ng kanilang pagbibitiw upang malaya siyang makapamili kung sino ang pananatilihin at sisibakin, ng walang benepisyo ng tamang proseso at walang sinumang pananagutin sa mga krimen nila.
